What does the Bible say about God's greatness?

Answered in 13 sources

The Bible proclaims that 'Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised' (Psalm 48:1), emphasizing His unparalleled majesty and worthiness of worship.

The greatness of God is a recurring theme throughout Scripture. Psalm 48 begins with the declaration, 'Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God' (Psalm 48:1). This psalm encapsulates the essence of God's majesty as perceived by His people, affirming His absolute sovereignty and infinite power. As the psalmist reflects on God's actions and character, he illuminates how God's greatness manifests in delivering His people and maintaining Zion, a symbol of His elect church.

Furthermore, God's greatness is underlined by His holiness and righteousness, demonstrating that He is not only powerful but also just and merciful. His greatness is evident in creation, providence, and especially in redemption through Christ. In Ephesians 1:3, we learn that all spiritual blessings come from Him, affirming that His greatness is foundational to our understanding of salvation. Thus, acknowledging God's greatness encourages believers to deepen their worship and reliance on Him.
