"For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be"

- Origen

About this Quote

This quote by Origen talks to the concept that, no matter just how much understanding we are able to obtain about God, it is still just a fraction of who He is. We can never fully comprehend God, and so we should accept that He is far higher than what we can view. This quote encourages us to believe God, even if we don't understand Him totally. It likewise advises us that God is good and loving, and that He is far much better than we can picture. We must trust in Him and His goodness, even if we don't understand it.
