Patristics

For, as I said, this was no mere earthly invention which was delivered to them, nor is it a mere human system of opinion, which they judge it right to preserve so carefully, nor has a dispensation of mere human mysteries been committed to them, but truly God Himself, who is almighty, the Creator of all things, and invisible, sent from heaven, and placed among men [Him who is] the truth, and the holy and incomprehensible Word, and has firmly established Him in their hearts.” Mathetes, to Diognetus, VII, ANF, 1:27
