Transcendence

God is transcendent. We know from Isaiah 55:9, or we might think that we do!

This must be read in the light of Gen 1:2, 27, Gen 2:15-17 and Gen 3:8-11.

There is an intimacy here: communication, fellowship (reinforced in God's creating in our time setting), love. God is of course above as as per Isaiah, but he is also with us. The creation tells us that he is with us with an intensity and closeness that goes beyond mere pagan transcendence.
