The Infinite God & Man's Eternal Future (Setting the Heart)

The Bible often uses words such as “immeasurable, unsearchable, beyond limits” to describe God. One of the concepts of God’s being that is beyond our human ability to comprehend is His eternalness. The fact that He is eternal means that He existed before time began, He will continue to exist after time ends, indeed, He created time. One word used, even by mathematicians, to describe something that has no limits is the word “infinite.” Our human, finite mind can only truly comprehend things that have a beginning and an end. Yet man’s finite lifetime exists within God’s infiniteness. How does our human finiteness compare to God’s infiniteness? Why would a Being so great as God be concerned about someone so insignificant as me? How does He show that concern? How does God’s infiniteness effect what our future will be like? What alternatives exist for our eternal future? God gives us answers to these and similar questions in His Word. May His answers be discovered as you study His book, the Bible which He gave for the purpose of revealing Himself to us.

The SETTING THE HEART Bible study series addresses questions with questions. The art of interview includes questioning the one of interest. The first-hand information in the Holy Bible gives a balanced perspective of the One being studied. Randall Grabau gives the reader the benefit of his own questions regarding God’s being and our relationship to Him.
