Boundaries define who we are and who we are not. They outline our identity because, unlike God, we are bounded. In Christ, our boundaries grow with us, encouraging us to become the person that God created us to be. A fifty-cent theological term for God's unboundedness is transcendence. Because God created the heavens and the earth, he stands outside of time (existing before creation) and space (existing outside heaven and earth). God is not bounded by created time and space. Existing in time and space, we are bounded in our corporeal nature. While transcendence is usually described as a divine attribute, it plays a critical role in human formation.

If we refuse to test our boundaries, like Peter Pan refusing to grow up, then our growth is stunted, and we never reach adulthood or realize our God-given potential. The example of an unbounded God, therefore, is the key to realizing our full humanity, because we are created, male and female, in the image of God. Hear the Words; Walk the Steps; Experience the Joy!.
