Superlatives best describe God

“Superlatives” describe something of the highest possible excellence – of the highest order, quality, or degree – surpassing or superior to all others.

Superlatives best describe God.

•    God’s greatness is “unsearchable” (Psalm 145:3).
•    God as sovereign is “Most High” (Daniel 4:17).
•    God pardons “freely” (Isaiah 55:7).
•    God gives life “to the full” (John 10:10).
•    God’s judgments are “unsearchable” (Romans 8:33).
•    God’s gift of salvation is “indescribable” (2 Corinthians 9:15).
•    Christ’s riches are “boundless” (Ephesians 3:8).
•    God’s love “surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19).
•    God is able to do “immeasurably more” (Ephesians 3:20).
•    Jesus is exalted to the “highest place,” his name is “above every name” (Philippians 2:9).
•    God’s peace “transcends all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

These superlatives describe God, and they don’t describe anything but God!
