“Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can’t contain Him. Isn’t it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?” (Francis Chan)

That’s a mind-blowing concept for me. To think of a God that I can’t exaggerate.

There’s no word to encapsulate how big, how great, how majestic He is.

There’s no way to describe how absolutely perfect and sinless He is.

There’s not a way to express how totally other than us God is.

Our finite minds aren’t big enough to comprehend God’s infinite love for us. Even if we weren’t marred by the fall, still our minds would not be able to hold all that God is.

All that we know of God — all of it — is because God revealed Himself to us through nature, through Scripture, and ultimately through His Son, who is the exact imprint of all that God is.

Another mind-blowing concept is why God would want to make Himself known to us. We bring nothing to God except our sin. We have nothing to offer God except for the filthy rags of our righteousness. God has no need of anything at all outside of Himself.

Yet He wanted to make Himself known. It was His pleasure to reveal Himself to fallen people like you and me. It was His glory that you and I might be saved and come to be called His sons and daughters.

And that, my friends, is reason enough for worship.
