(“Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!”
–2 Corinthians 9:15 NIV)
Consider.
Jesus, our Savior, is:
- Incomparable – without equal or rival (Psalm 86:8)
- Incomprehensible – beyond understanding or knowing; unfathomable (Romans 11:33)
- Indescribable – exceeding description (Jeremiah 10:6-7)
- Indisputable — incontestable (Isaiah 40:13-14)
- Inestimable – of incalculable value (Psalm 145:3)
- Inexhaustible – incapable of being used up or consumed or becoming tired (Revelation 1:8; Psalm 121:3)
- Infallible – cannot fail or even make a mistake (Psalm 145:17)
- Invariable – never-changing (Hebrews 13:8)
- Invisible – John 1:18
And those nine descriptors only begin to define Jesus. No matter how many fancy, multi-syllable words we might collect, the attributes of God’s Son are beyond full comprehension. And he is God’s gift to us.

Oh, Jesus, how we thank you for giving up the splendor of heaven and the glory of your deity, to take on human form and become our Savior. How incomprehensible that you could love such pitiful creatures as mankind. Nevertheless you came so that we, too, could become God’s sons and daughters. Even more incredible, many of the descriptors above will be true of us—on that day when you appear again, and We. Shall. Be. Like. You.
(Philippians 2:6-7; John 3:16; Romans 8:29; 1 John 2:2)

From the Inside Out 
Nine “I’s” contained in one infinite “I AM.” Amen, Nancy!
A beautiful, inspired observation, Mitch. Love it!
Very Inspiring, dear sister! 🙂
Thank you, Heidi. Praise God for the privilege to pass on his inspiration to others. (I know you feel the same way!)
What a comforting list! These days I especially appreciate ‘Invariable’. In this ever-changing world (for the worse, unfortunately) it is SO WONDERFUL that HE is unchanging. The ONE TRUE THING that He provides is his consistency in His Love for me! Thanks for another ‘I’…an ‘Inspiring’ post!
Thank you Cheri! I could very well have included “Inspiring” on the list. Where would we be without his strength and encouragement? And you’re right: Knowing our God is Invariable gives great comfort in these dangerously unstable times!
There’s a lot ‘IN’ all those words….Nancy. And the photos with the Scriptures are beautiful. Thank you.
Clever and accurate response, Jody — Love it!
absolutely beautiful. Praising along with you
Thank you, Jean. We can praise together–across the miles!
I love these, Nancy. Simple words that, when meditated on, bring such richness to the scriptures regarding the nature of our Father.
It reminds me of one of my favorite songs by Toby Mac. He uses two words that really resonate in a similar way for me: undeniable and unmistakable.
Our God is so amazing, isn’t he? I sometimes wish I could do nothing but sit and ponder words like this all day. I suppose my people do need to be fed though, don’t they? 😉
I’m so glad these simple words ministered to you, Rebeca. That last paragraph of yours surely made God smile. He knows your heart–and appreciates your perseverance to keep your people fed! 🙂
