Psalm 117:1-2 O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise him, all you people. I. ALL PEOPLES ARE TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD. 1. All are identical in spiritual condition. They all have a capacity to form a conception of the same God, and the same tendency to reverence and adore. 2. All have identical moral relationships. "In Him all live and move and have their being." 3. All should have identical controlling sympathies. Thus true worship becomes the unifying force of the race. II. ALL PEOPLES ARE TO WORSHIP THE SAME GOD FOR THE SAME REASON. 1. His kindness to all. 2. His faithfulness to all. God is truth, hence He never alters. Error is like the clouds, never shifting; truth, like the sun, continues the same from age to age. (D. Thomas, D.D.)
