God has no limits — not in time, not in space, not in any of his perfections — and Wilkin invites us to consider what our own finitude says about us and about him.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Wilkin defines God's infinity as the absence of any limit or boundary on his being and perfections. How is this different from simply saying God is 'very big' or 'really powerful'? Why does the distinction matter theologically?
2.She points out that humans continually bump up against their limits — in energy, attention, capacity, and time — and that we often experience this as failure or inadequacy. Can you think of a recent situation where hitting a limit felt like a personal flaw rather than a created boundary? What was that like?
3.Wilkin describes the way we tend to project our own limits onto God — assuming, for example, that he gets tired of our prayers or that his patience will eventually run out. Where do you see this kind of projection in your own prayers or assumptions about God?
