Finding Language to Express God

From the words of Adam Clarke,
God is...

The eternal,

independent,

and self-existent Being;

the Being whose purposes

and actions

spring from himself,

without foreign motive

or influence;

he who is absolute

in dominion;

the most pure,

the most simple, 

the most spiritual

of all essences;

infinitely perfect;

and eternally self-sufficient,

needing nothing

that he has made;

illimitable

in his immensity,

inconceivable

in his mode of existence,

and indescribable

in his essence; 

known fully

only by himself,

because an infinite mind

can only be fully 

comprehended by itself.

In a word,

a Being who,

from his infinite wisdom, 

cannot err

or be deceived,

and from

his infinite goodness,

can do nothing but

what is eternally just,

and right,

and kind.

Think of someone who's every action, whose slightest thought or inclination, automatically assumes the reality of the God here described. When you do this you will have captured nothing less than the thought of Jesus himself, along with the faith and life he came to bring.
