It is impossible for us to perceive God in His entirely. This occurs for several reasons, one of which is the fact that God exists in a supernatural realm we cannot often physically perceive. Most people are not aware of the spiritual events that are taking place around them at any given moment. We are not given to dwelling on the fact that we really are never alone. Angels and demons surround us, as does the presence of God.
God has many titles and names, but we have not all experienced God in the same way. Over time, we all come to appreciate God more, and we understand more of His character, but no one fully knows God while they here on earth.
Whether we like it or not, we are limited in our perception of God. And this means that we are incapable of fully loving God in the way He deserves. Hannah Moore challenges us by saying, "We are sometimes inclined to suspect the love of God to us. We are tool little suspicious of our lack love to Him."
But at the same time, that is why He wants us to discover Him, rather than be forced to know and love God. Forced love is never very special. We are not called to love God because we have to, but because we want to.
As we discover God, we come to realize how love and victory are tied together. 1 Corinthians 13 describes the characteristics of love, and the importance of love above all else in our lives. It is through loving others faithfully that Christ's victory is achieved.
