Trying to explain God is like trying to explain a kiss. You can check the dictionary definition: “A caress with the lips; a gentle touch or contact.”

But does that really capture the essence of what a kiss is? Does that describe what a mother does when she tenderly places her lips on the forehead of her newborn child? Is that what the young lover does when he says good-night to his girl?

Just as words cannot completely capture all that is involved in what we know by experience, we also cannot fully comprehend, explain, or define “God. We can, however, know him through experiencing his revelation of himself to us in his Word and in the person of Jesus Christ.
