God is incomprehensible (Job 5:8-9; Ps. 145:1-3; Isa. 40:28) and cannot be known fully by finite minds. However, God can be truly known. In a serious attempt to know God, perhaps His attributes of eternality and self-existence center the attention on describing God as separate from all others. Self-existence means God is the only Being whose origin did not derive outside of Himself (Exod. 3:14). Eternality means God transcends and is not bound by time with no temporal limitations upon Him (Ps. 90:2, 4; Heb. 1:2; 11:3).
