Sublime describes God's overall exceeding, excelling, matchless, greatness in all of His attributes.
It is an all-encompassing kind of attribute that speaks to His transcendence, holiness, and awe-inspiring nature. It is attributed to the magnitude of these attributes as well as that of His majesty, splendor, beauty, power, wisdom, profundity, etc.
Saying God is sublime is saying in all of His Being, He is extraordinary in all of his excellencies, infiniteness, limitless, supremeness in that His whole essence far exceeds anything He has created. He is the paramount of Beings, the Apex from which all things have their source and life. He in incomparable in his glory and exaltation. There is none higher nor who even can come near to His greatness. His transcendent nature is spoken of being "far" as in "Am I not a God who is near (imminent) and I am a God who is far away? (transcendent). Jer. 23:23
Therefore, sublime is an adjective that sort of "sums up" all the perfections of God as a whole package, so to speak.
Many of the posts I've made about who God is do overlap, as we will see in the next post.
