THE ATTRIBUTES OF GOD - VOLUME 1 - A.W. TOZER

Excerpt from Chapter 1 of A.W. Tozer's book "The Attributes of God - Volume 1 -

Pg.5 -6 –

The poet says, “One God, one Majesty. There is no God but Thee. Unbounded, unextended unity.”

For a long time I wondered why he said, “unbounded, enextended unity”; then I realized he meant that God doesn’t extend into space; God contains space. C.S. Lewis said that if you could think of a sheet of paper infinitely extended in all directions, and if you took a pencil and made a line one inch long on it, that would be time. When you started to push your pencil it was the beginning of time and when you lifted it off the paper it was the end of time. And all around, infinitely extended in all directions, is God. That’s a good illustration.
If there were a point where God stopped, then God wouldn’t be perfect. For instance, if God knew almost everything, but not quite everything, then God wouldn’t be perfect in knowledge. His understanding wouldn’t be infinite, as it says in Psalm 147:5.

Let us take all that can be know – past, present, and future, spiritual, psychic and physical – everywhere throughout the universe. And let us say God knows all of it except one percent – He knows ninety-nine percent of all that can be known. I’d be embarrassed to go to heaven and look into the face of a God that didn’t know everything. He has to know it all or I can’t worship Him. I can’t worship that which is not perfect.
