No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to comprehend how great
God is because we are not God and He is. Always keep in mind that trying to emulate God was the original and most serious sin. We should make an effort to learn more about God because He wants us to know Him, but we will never fully comprehend Him or match His intelligence. All sin stems from the desire to match God's perfection and the consequent loss of reverence and awe for Him. We should be humble enough to recognize that, despite our best efforts, we can never match God's majesty, righteousness, wisdom, or holiness on our own, instead, we should strive to emulate God's righteous character, gracious compassion, and faithful loving kindness. This is simultaneously thrilling and annoying. However, the assurance that one day we will resemble Him and perceive Him in His tru form remains (1 John 3:2-3). In the same way that He will know everything about us, we will know everything about Him. (1 Cor. 13:11-12).
