18. Anyone can come to an inner assurance about the presence of infinite things in God--anyone, that is, who believes that God is a person; because if God is a person, he has a body and everything that having a body entails. So he has a face, torso, abdomen, upper legs, and lower legs, since without these he would not be a person. Since he has these components, he also has eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and tongue. He also has what we find within a person, such as a heart and lungs and the things that depend on them, all of which, taken together, make us human. We are created with these many components, and if we consider them in their interconnections, they are beyond counting. In the Divine-Human One, though, they are infinite. Nothing is lacking, so he has an infinite completeness.

We can make this comparison of the uncreated Person, who is God, with us who are created, because that God is a person. It is because of him that we earthly beings are said to have been created in his image and in his likeness (Genesis 1:26-27).

7244. 'And Moses said before Jehovah' means the thought regarding the law of God that those steeped in falsities entertained. This is clear from the meaning of 'said' as thought, dealt with in 7094; and from the representation of 'Moses' as the law of God, dealt with in 6723, 6752. The meaning here, the thought regarding the law of God that those steeped in falsities entertained, is evident from the train of thought as it continues into the words that come next. For when the word said is used, and thought is meant by it, it includes that which follows it, at this point that the law of God is impure to those who are steeped in falsities.
