What if you think you’ve trekked to the mountain’s peak, but you’ve just begun? What if you know of God’s love, power, grace, comfort, and wisdom could come alive to you in new ways? You’ve received, but there’s always more. You can be “filled with the fullness of God” (3:19).

The first time I got on an airplane,  I was in awe looking out the window at the clouds below me. Now I close the window so there’s no glare on my laptop screen. The wonder has faded.

The same drift can happen in our faith. When a person has walked with God for a while, there can be a tendency to grow stale.

New Christians are excited; every truth they discover is fresh. It’s like exploring a sprawling mansion, opening one door after another to discover new gifts in each room. But as time goes on, we can settle in and grow dry. We’ve heard the sermons, studied the books, joined the team, and learned the answers. What once moved us now feels mundane. The truth we know no longer stirs us. There’s a disconnect between our heads and our hearts.

It doesn’t have to be this way. What first captured your heart about God was only the beginning. There’s always more about him to know, trust, and enjoy.

God Is Infinite

That’s why the Bible gives us prayers that ask God to open our eyes (Ps. 119:18; Eph. 1:18). The problem isn’t that we’ve never seen truth about God before; it’s that there’s always more to behold. Whether you’ve only been a Christian for a minute or the sand in your hourglass is running thin, you’ve never exhausted what can be known, trusted, and enjoyed of our endless God.

God is infinite, and each of his attributes is infinite in nature. He’s not just loving but abounding in faithful love (Ex. 34:6). Not only gracious but rich in grace (Eph. 1:7). His power? Immeasurably great (v. 19). His wisdom? Unsearchable (Isa. 40:28). He’s not just holy, but as we joyfully sing, he’s holy, holy, holy (6:3).

God isn’t a generous pour that fills the cup to the brim; he’s an endless waterfall, overflowing and never dry. There’s more than enough of him for us to enjoy for eternity. More than enough for the struggles you face. More than enough to bring peace to your stress, joy to your apathy, and grace to your guilt. More than enough for the new seasons of life you haven’t figured out yet, for the changes you couldn’t foresee.

He says to you: Come and see. I want to show you who I am.

Always More to Know and Enjoy

Take a simple truth every Christian child knows: “Jesus loves me.” It’s easy to say you know this and move on. But even that single sentence holds infinite possibility. This is why Paul can pray that the believers “may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge” (Eph. 3:18–19).
