Section 1

Romans 11:33 bursts with awe—“Oh, what a wonderful God we have! How great are His riches and wisdom and knowledge. How impossible it is for us to understand His decisions and His methods.” The teaching emphasizes how often people think they can “figure out Christianity” as though it were a formula, waiting to sin until the last minute before repenting. But Scripture is clear: repentance is God’s gift, not a game, and “today is the day of salvation.” The secret things belong to the Lord (Deuteronomy 29:29), and He has not revealed all things to us. Even Moses could not see God fully, underscoring our need for renewed, eternal bodies that can stand before His glory without being destroyed.

Section 2

The point presses further: no one truly knows what eternity will hold once all is finished—the new heavens, new earth, and judgment complete. We can speculate, but only God knows. Our life is but a vapor, here for a little while and then gone, reminding us that God alone is in charge. The higher call is trust: not simply faith in favorable outcomes, but the same surrender Jesus showed in Gethsemane—“Not my will, but Yours be done.” God’s wisdom and timing are beyond human comprehension, and He wastes nothing. Even our failures and regrets are woven into His plan, shaping us for readiness and service.

Section 3

Paul’s doxology drives home that no one can counsel or advise God. He is never in need of our insights; angels themselves cannot offer Him a single grain of wisdom. God is absolute, unchanging, and already fully knowing. Everything He allows—losses, triumphs, and trials alike—serves His eternal purposes. Not one sparrow falls apart from the Father’s will, and not one event in our lives is wasted. This truth demands humility and worship: acknowledging God on His throne at the center of the universe. To grieve or quench the Holy Spirit is to resist the very One guiding us in this trust. Ultimately, Paul reminds us that our God’s greatness is unfathomable, His wisdom limitless, and His methods perfect, whether revealed or hidden.
