We are finite and God is infinite. How can a human have a personal relationship with the infinite?

That is the failure of all religions, save for Christianity. Because Christ took on also human nature, we can relate to Him in that way. Without Him, God is simply a distant and unimaginable entity.

How in the world did I know that you would be the only one to get it. This is unimagined in the Reformed world. The Reformed God is the mover and shaker of all; the reason that one can point to when sinning with reckless abandon, and without repentence.
