The Greatness of God
Psalm 89:6
For who in the heaven can be compared to the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the LORD?


The true God, Sovereign of heaven and earth, is incomparably great —

I. IN HIS BEING AND EXISTENCE.

1. Eternal.

2. Perfect.

3. Independent.

4. Unchangeable. There are no tenses with God — past, present, and to come; but one eternal Now.

II. IN HIS ATTRIBUTES AND PERFECTIONS.

1. Holiness.

2. Wisdom and knowledge.

3. Power.

4. Justice.

5. Patience.

6. Love and goodness.

III. IN HIS WORKS.

1. Creation.

2. Providence.

3. Redemption and human salvation.Concluding inferences.

1. Is God so great? — what a horrid nature sin is of, and rebellion against such a God I — yes, horrid the sin and folly that attempts to oppose God!

2. If God be so great, what love, reverence, worship, and obedience we owe to Him!

3. Is God so great? — what must be His condescension to notice such creatures as we are!

4. If God be so great, what must it be to be under His wrath for ever!

5. If God he so great, what will it be to enjoy His love, favour, and presence for ever.

(T. Jones.)
