//trancedence

This is an excerpt from A.W. Tozer's book called. The Knowledge of the Holy[which a highly recommend everyone read. often.]

We must not think of God as highest in an ascending order of beings, starting with the single cell and going on up from the fish to the bird to the animals to man to angel to cherub to God. This would be to grant God eminence, even pre-eminence, but that is NOT ENOUGH. we must grant Him transcendence in the fullest meaning of the word. Forever God stands apart, in light unapproachable. He is as high above an archangel as above a caterpillar, for the gulf that separates the archangel from the caterpillar is but finite, while the gulf between God and the archangel is infinite. The caterpillar and the archangel, though far removed from each other in the scale of created things, are nevertheless one in that they are alive created.
