Infinite vs Finite
Daily Devotional for August 25

Psalm 147:5 "Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite."

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Finite - subject to human or natural limitations. Mankind's mind is finite.

Infinite - Having no boundaries or limitations, extending without end. That is God's essence.

Finite is two letters short: "in" to make up the word infinite.

1 Corinthians 2:16b "But we have the mind of Christ."
Therefore we have thoughts about heaven that are so beautiful; where the finite man has boundaries and only thinks in the natural 1 Corinthians 2:14.

When the believer is in Christ, his weapons of warfare are not carnal; because the believer can think in spiritual terms with the mind of Christ Jesus, which is infinite. Is it any wonder that in the book of Ephesians many times "in Christ", "in Him" is used to explain the importance of being in Christ?

God's divine love has no limitations, so just respond to it. Receive it. Walk in it.

To be in Christ Jesus is truly to be seated in heavenly places enjoying the presence of the Lord
1 Chronicles 16:27 "Glory and honour are in His presence; strength and gladness are in His place."

To be in Christ Jesus is always having a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."

To be in Christ Jesus we have a hiding place
Colossians 3:3 "For ye are dead, and your life is hid in Christ in God."

Bible References (KJV)

1 Corinthians 2:14 "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
