“Scripture itself leads us in describing God in the most manifold relations to all his creatures. While immutable in himself, he nevertheless, as it were lives the life of his creatures and participates in all their changing states. Yet, however anthropomorphic its language, it at the same time prohibits us from positing any change in God himself… In fact, God’s incomprehensible greatness and, by implication, the glory of the Christian confession are precisely that God, though immutable in himself, can call mutable creatures into being. Though eternal in himself, God can nevertheless enter into time and, though immeasurable in himself, he can fill every cubic inch of space with his presence. In other words, though he himself is absolute being, God can give to transient beings a distinct existence of their own. In God’s eternity there exists not a moment in time; in his immensity there is not a speck of space; in his being there is no sign of becoming. There is nothing intermediate between these two classes of categories: a deep chasm separates God’s being from that of all creatures. It is the mark of God’s greatness that he can condescend to the level of his creatures and that, though transcendent, he can dwell immanently in all created being. Without losing himself, God can give himself, and while absolutely maintaining his immutability, he can enter into infinite number of relations to his creatures.”
