*If we are seeking and serving the God of the Bible, we must understand and acknowledge that He is a mysterious God who has concealed the depth of His essence and nature for those who will seek Him out with all our hearts. We must also understand that His word is, likewise, full of mystery and concealment, reserved for those who are diligent enough to study in order to know Him and His will.
