• Romans 1:18-23
    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
     
  • Isaiah 40:18
    To whom then will you liken God?
    Or what likeness will you compare to Him?

     
  • Jeremiah 9:23-24
    Thus says the LORD:
    " Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
    Let not the mighty man glory in his might,
    Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
    But let him who glories glory in this,
    That he understands and knows Me,
    That I am the LORD, exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
    For in these I delight," says the LORD.
     
  • 1 Corinthians 2:10
    But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
