We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The God we encounter everywhere in Scripture, though mysterious to us, though we strain at the leash of language to describe Him faithfully, though we know He is more than our small thoughts can achieve – still, God is truly knowable according to His own self-revelation. We can receive His testimony to Himself at face value without fear of missing who He really is.

It is possible, in our pursuit of intimacy with God, to: 1. Allow our familiarity to degenerate into flippancy. 2. Fail to remember His transcendence by placing extreme emphasis on His immanence. 3. Lose sight of His holiness. 4. Overemphasize the subjective fruit to the exclusion of the objective foundation. 5. Fail to come to Him on His terms. 6. Lose sight of the distinction between Creator and creature.
