Can We Even Understand God’s Word?


If God’s ways and thoughts are infinitely higher than ours, then can we even understand the Bible?

We can for this reason: we are made in the image of God. Humans reflect God in a way that no animal does. This includes our language. We speak intelligently precisely because we serve a God who is a speaking God. Our thoughts and vocabulary and languages all have their origin in God Himself. Therefore, if God condescends and speaks to us and has it preserved for us in a book, we can know God truly, even if never exhaustively.

As image-bearers, we can have confidence in the understandability of the Bible.
