Our Knowledge of God Limited
J. Culross, D. D. Romans 1:19-21 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has showed it to them.… A young child, who has hitherto fancied that the rim of the sky rests on the earth a few miles away, and that the whole world lies within that circle, sails down the Forth there, and sees the riverbanks gradually widening and the river passing into a frith. When he comes back, he tells his young companions how large the ocean is. Poor boy! he has not seen the ocean, only the widened river. Just so with all creature knowledge of God. Though all the archangels were to utter all they know, there would still remain an infinity untold. (J. Culross, D. D.)
