Humility in God revealing Himself to us

"The smartest people in the world can't figure out who God is, unless He reveals Himself to them." ~ Wayne Grudem

Day One:
Listen to this sermon: Scroll down, looking on the left side until you see: Incommunicable attributes part 1, under Wayne Grudem. This sermon should open up in your itunes. You should take notes so you can refer back to them this week. (Be patient with this message. It is presented in a class format, so there is some stuff you won't need to hear)


Over all eternity we will be searching out who God is, and never know everything we could ever know about Him. He is far beyond what we could ever understand. How does this make you feel?

Take time to praise God for an eternity of getting to know Him.
Ask Him to give you a hunger to know Him more.

Day two:
The scripture is a product of an infinite mind. The more you study the Bible, the more you come to understand things that are infinite.
What does the word infinite mean?
What does the word finite mean?
How does this understanding effect our pride?

What is the difference between knowing facts about God and knowing God Himself?
Have you ever stopped to be amazed that God would even want you to know Him?

Pray and ask the Lord to give you a sense of amazement that an infinite God would want you to know Him personally?

Day three:
The same Holy Spirit who wrote Scripture through human vessels, also guides us to pray and understand the scriptures. Find a verse that talks about the Holy Spirit's role in helping us understand Scripture. Memorize it. Tell another RBC girl from our group this verse from memory by next week.

Day four:
What is the difference between incommunicable and communicable attributes of God?

Incommunicable: Some attributes of God are so different from us, He doesn't share them with us: Omnipresent, Omniscient etc. Name three more:

Communicable: Some attributes of God we can very imperfectly possess ourselves: Love, gentleness etc. Name three more:

In which of these attributes do you want to grow more like God in?

Day five:
God speaks to us in terms we can understand, proving He wants us to know Him.

Scripture points to creation to help us know God.
How is God like these things?
Rock: Deuteronomy 32:4
Lion: Hosea 5:14
Lamb:Revelation 13:8
Eagle:Exodus 19:4
Hen:Luke 13:34
Sun:Matthew 17:2
Light:Psalm 27:1
Torch:Genesis 15:17
Fountain:Psalm 36:9
A shadow:Psalm 36:7
Consuming fire: Hebrews 12:29

Scripture points to human relationships to reveal Himself to us.
How is God like these?
A Groom
A Husband
A Father
Judge
King
Man of War
Builder and Maker
Shepherd

God reveals Himself in human actions.
What do we learn about Him in these actions?
He...
Knows
Sees
Hears
Smells
Walking
Tastes

Look up the verses for the list above and explain How God is like those things.
