We should never try to force God to conform to the way we interpret them and the logic which becomes imposed by their use. Thus, our words have value, but we must understand that value is relative. Even the ways God is at work with us are mysterious, because God’s transcendent majesty means God is at work in ways which we do not know or understand. Nonetheless, we must understand that behind all such descriptions, behind all the great and glorious theological reflections, God will always be greater than what we say. That is, we name God in accordance to God’s operations, not in relation to God’s essence. ![]() It is in this fashion that they help us apprehend God, and that they do this best when they are used to describe God in accordance to the ways God interacts with and engages the world. They can serve as relative, conventional presentations of the truth as long as we accept that the ultimate truth lies beyond what is said, that is, when we recognize that they serve as pointers to the great, transcendent majesty of God. ![]() God is so great, no matter how sophisticated our words are, no matter how nuanced they are, they will always fail to comprehend God and God’s essence.
