"God is actually infinite in every perfection."

God is not merely unrefinablely perfect, He is also unlimitedly perfect. His perfection, which is peerless in purity, is also boarderless in boundary.

God knows no limit. He is infinite – not merely spatially, as the adjective infinity often calls to mind – but He knows no limit in His character as well. His character trait of perfection is infinite.

Now if we imagine a person as infinity beautiful, we would easily call to mind collapsing at their feet in awe. Indeed, the less than infinitely beautiful angels have people collapsing to their knees. It then becomes no wonder why the infinitely perfect God has people falling, afraid of death, and casting the crowns that He gave them back, because the gulf of difference is too great to bear. A humanly beautiful person can cause us to slack jaw and have our brains freeze up, imagine now the impact of infinity! A kind person can cause tears to well up, how much more infinite kindness! God, infinite in all His perfections, then fittingly strikes us with awe and wonder.
