[Splendour]

Vander Lugt has this to say about God's transcendence over creation:

The eternal God is transcendent, not part of creation. God's existence cannot be "proven" in the way that science can prove or disprove a fact about the material world ( see Hebrews 11:1 ). We are spiritual beings , created in God's image, aware of our own existence, and capable of choice. If we choose to believe that there is no God and that the universe is just a fantastically complex accident,our choice will inevitably lead to the conclusion that life is absurd and without meaning. To live without meaning is a hopeless struggle at best, and always ends in despair. But if we believe in the God of the Bible, we not only have a reason to believe in life's meaningfulness, but we also have the assurance of seeing the kingdom of God with our own eyes.

For the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity and whose name is holy says, "I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones" (see Isaiah 57:15).
