Adherents of the Islamic religion will accept many of our claims about Jesus and Christianity, However, when you discuss the deity of Christ or the triune nature of the Godhead, you will stir up a controversy. Even among many professing and sincere Christians, the doctrine of the Trinity is a bit unsettling. I came across an interesting quote recently about the doctrine of Trinity. It says, “Deny the Trinity and you will lose your soul; try to explain it and you will lose your mind” (Anonymous). Nothing says it better. All this goes on to suggest that we cannot by our rational mind know God. This is the import of Job 11:7. All search for God through some complicated scientific theories is like sowing to the wind with only a promised harvest of a whirlwind. Two verses after our text bring out more profound truths about the ubiquitous nature of God. “It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea” (Job 11:7-9).

We cited these scriptures to emphasize that revelation is the key to the knowledge of God. Without mincing words, Jesus said, “no man knoweth the son, but the father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the son, and he to whosoever the son will reveal him.” (Matthew 11:27). We need divine assistance to grow in the knowledge of God.
