“Do not elevate yourself beyond the reach of your comprehension, and do not limit God by your human conceptions.
Acknowledge and believe God to be the One who dwells in incomprehensible eternity.
Lose yourself in this eternity.
Worship that which you cannot comprehend and with Abraham call upon the name of the eternal God (Genesis 21:33).”
–Wilhelmus à Brakel, The Christian’s Reasonable Service, Volume 1, Ed. Joel Beeke, Trans. Bartel Elshout (Grand Rapids, MI: Reformation Heritage Books, 1700/1994), 1: 93.
