The Transcendence of God

God alone is “enthroned on high” (Psalm 113.5).

Written by Geoffrey R. Kirkland | Thursday, July 17, 2025

God is exalted above all the peoples (Psalm 99:2). No one can relate to God because He alone far surpasses all other gods, all men, and everything in creation. This attribute of God that splendidly flows from His essential nature underscores His holiness, majesty, glory and worth.

 

The Lord is “high and lifted up and greatly exalted” (Isaiah 52.13). This speaks of the TRANSCENDENCE OF GOD. This wonder attribute of God’s transcendence speaks to His essential quality of being high above and superior to anything and everything in all of creation. This is not something that God becomes or grows into but it speaks to the unending, unchanging, and continuous state of His glorious Being. God is highly exalted (Exodus 15.1). Quite simply: the transcendence of God means that God’s glorious Being is royally exalted in perfect and pure and sovereign and secure dignity. God alone is “enthroned on high” (Psalm 113.5).

God is transcendent in His BEING. God is exalted above all the peoples (Psalm 99:2). No one can relate to God because He alone far surpasses all other gods, all men, and everything in creation. This attribute of God that splendidly flows from His essential nature underscores His holiness, majesty, glory and worth.
