How do we take hold of eternal realities that are beyond our comprehension?
Eternal realities beyond comprehension are taken hold of by faith. Believers cannot fully grasp the eternal life of God, the infiniteness of eternity, or dimensions beyond human understanding, yet what little can be comprehended is appropriated by faith, not by human reasoning, and believers are headed to that infinite eternal period.
Les explains that the eternal life of God Himself has become part and parcel of every believer and will carry throughout all eternity, but we cannot comprehend it—any more than we can comprehend the outer edges of space. It is beyond us and boggles the mind. He gives the illustration of the sun’s size and the star Centaurus to show the eternalness and infiniteness of God. That is eternity, and that is where believers are headed. Though it will not be time as we know it, we are dealing with eternal things without dimension, beyond human comprehension. What little we can comprehend, we appropriate by faith, by faith. Les also stresses this is not some far-out kooky stuff that someone dreamed up.
