"Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God..."

Text: Romans 11:33

STANDING IN ABSOLUTE AWE OF GOD

Even as Paul drew to a conclusion his “theology of Israel” (Romans 9-11), he realized that what he had written was complex and profound! He found himself expressing great astonishment at the depth of God’s wisdom and knowledge!

“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge
of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways
past finding out!
For who has known the mind of the LORD?
Or who has become His counselor?
Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him?
For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things,
to whom be glory forever. Amen.”
Romans 11:33-36
