Have you cut God down to size?
The Christian worldview has suffered significant atrophy in the modern age–and virtually all of this can be traced to a significant shift in the doctrine of God . The God worshipped by millions of modern persons–including some who identify as Christians–is a deity cut down to postmodern size. This God is more a spectator than a sovereign, and largely leaves his creatures to make their own way. This formless “God” may be popular–but He is not the God of the Bible. The Christian doctrine of God is rooted in this most fundamental truth–that God and God alone is sovereign. The Bible reveals the true and living God in this way, and without this revealed knowledge we would know nothing of Him, for He is incomprehensible and beyond the reach of our creaturely investigation. There is much we cannot know of God, for as the Apostle Paul asked, “How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways.” [Romans 11:33] There are questions about God we simply should not ask.
