Attribute of God
Infinity
| Definition | God’s infinity means He is without limits, boundaries, or constraints of any kind — unbounded by space, time, or created categories. He is absolutely unlimited in His being, perfections, and presence. |
| OT Support | 1 Kings 8:27 — “Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!”
Psalm 145:3 — “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, and his greatness is unsearchable.” |
| NT Support | Romans 11:33 — “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways!”
Revelation 1:8 — “I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” |
| Theological Implications | God’s infinity is not merely an extension of greatness but an altogether different category of being — He exists without external limits, for nothing outside Himself defines or constrains Him. This attribute undergirds all others: His love, holiness, and wisdom are equally without measure or bound. For the believer, God’s infinity is profound comfort — no depth of sin exhausts His mercy, no breadth of suffering exceeds His presence, and no complexity of need surpasses His wisdom. We worship not a great-but-finite deity, but the limitless Lord who holds all things in His boundless hand. |
