The Apostle Paul alluding to God’s infinite wisdom quotes Isaiah 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counseller hath taught him? Indeed, Job 21:22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. And in Job 36:22-23 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? 23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

No man can grasp even a little of the infinite wisdom of God. We observe this in God’s creation. How He makes the animals is a display of His infinite wisdom.

Marvel of marvels, this is my observation as I review the enactment of the gospel plan to reach every nation. Truly, I marvel at the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!

In experiencing God’s mercy, he learns to give leeway to the Jews and not write off and condemned them to irrevocable judgment by his self-righteousness.
