Transcendence

The paradox of divine immanence and transcendence in religion challenges human comprehension, necessitating the function of theology to unify the concept of God's divine domination of the universe with the indwelling presence of God within each individual for intelligent worship and the hope of personality survival. 5:5.6

The mystery of God's transcendence should not lessen your faith, for He is personally present in a vast universe yet dwells within each of us. 12:7.12
