In this context, Scofield quotes Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and goes on to describe this holy One as "the divine wisdom, the collective thought of God."
Yet this book brings these eternal realities to a personal level: He came to know us individually and to lavish upon us an unconditional love that has nothing to do with our past, of any present feelings of unworthiness or any meager accomplishments we might try to offer Him. He as a member of the divine Trinity Who loves and seeks and longs for
relationship with each of his creatures who will respond to Him.
