MORE THAN WE CAN THINK
READINGS: ROMANS 2:1-11, 2 CORINTHIANS 7:5-12
2 Corinthians 7:10 – “For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation...”
Our God can never righty be called one-dimensional. In fact He is infinitely multi-dimensional, probably even more than that. I believe He reaches supernatural existences that greatly exceed the furtherest reaches of human conception and imagination. However, let’s consider an example of His multidimensional nature that we can see, by comparing the two verses above. In the Romans passage the apostle Paul informs us that the goodness of God gets a person to repentance. Then, in the other scripture, he says it is godly sorrow that does it. These two statements involve opposing conditions. If the Lord were one-dimensional and limited, probably only one of those methods would work. Either goodness or sorrow would produce repentance. The good news is that God can use either or both to bless people with this precious gift! Even better news is the reality that there are still more ways, more than any person knows, that the Father can accomplish His will. As He cares for us, the supernatural dimensions of God are without limit. That’s a thought – about God’s Word.

2. Why do people serve limited gods?
