God

 Theology 101

When we attempt to conceive what God is like, we are immediately confronted with the limitation of human imagination, for our minds must use created realities—that which is not God—as the framework for understanding the Divine. Consequently, any image, concept, or mental construct we form of God cannot be God Himself. The Creator transcends the created; thus, every human depiction of God is inherently inadequate and finite, fashioned from the material and intellectual fabric of creation. True theology, therefore, begins not with imagining God, but with revelation—receiving who God declares Himself to be through His Word and His Spirit.
