"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD."

No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to comprehend how great God is because we are not God, and He is. Always keep in mind that trying to emulate God was the original and most serious sin. We should make an effort to learn more about God because He wants us to know Him, but we will never fully comprehend Him or match His intelligence. All sin stems from the desire to match God's perfection and the consequent loss of reverence and awe for Him. We should be humble enough to recognize that, despite our best efforts, we can never match God's majesty, righteousness, wisdom, or holiness on our own. Instead, we should strive to emulate God's righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful lovingkindness. This is simultaneously thrilling and humbling. However, the assurance that one day we will resemble Him and perceive Him in His true form remains (1 John 3:2-3). In the same way that He will know everything about us, we will know everything about Him (1 Corinthians 13:11-12).

No matter how hard we try, we can't understand how great God is because He is God and we are not. We must always remember that the first and most important sin was trying to be like God. God wants us to know Him, and we should try to learn about Him, but we'll never know everything about Him or be on the same level as Him. At the heart of all sin is trying to be as good as God and losing respect and fear for God. Even though we should try to take on God's righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful loving-kindness, we should be humble enough to know that we can't come close to His majesty, righteousness, wisdom, or holiness on our own. This is exciting and frustrating at the same time. But the promise still stands that one day we will be like Him and see Him as He is (1 John 3:2-3). We will know everything about Him just as much as He knows everything about us (1 Corinthians 13:11-12).
