Blogging The Institutes: Day 21 1.13.4 -1.13.7

God is immense. He is Big. He is three in One. Our human words are not good enough, not detailed enough, not expansive enough, to describe Him in enough detail to give Him justice. So as our forefathers have attempted to write about the attributes of God, it was not with the idea that they were finally the ones, the "enlightened" to be able to grasp God enough to write attributes about Him. As Augustine said, that he could not describe God at the level that would ever satisfy him, but God was to great, and so high of a matter, that he could not pass on in silence without attempting to show how the Father, Son, and Spirit are three.
