God cannot deny Himself and is unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness and truth. He never contradicts Himself or becomes other than the faithful God that He is.
And yet: Our God is shown to be God above all in becoming man; our Creator is shown to be Creator above all in becoming creature; our Lord is shown to be Lord above all in taking on the form of a servant; the Prince of Life displays His unquenchable life by enduring a human death, and overcoming it.
