The Bible proclaims God's greatness throughout, emphasizing that He is the only true God, omnipotent, and worthy of all praise.
The greatness of God is evident in Scripture, particularly highlighted in passages like Psalm 48:1-2, where we see that 'Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised.' This statement underlines that there is no God but Jehovah, and His greatness is intrinsic to His nature. He possesses all power, wisdom, and holiness; therefore, His greatness is manifest in all His works. The psalmist uses vivid imagery of creation to depict God’s power, stating that He measures the waters in the hollow of His hand and weighs the mountains in scales. God's greatness serves as a foundation for the security and beauty of the situation of His people, reminding us of our safety in Christ, which comes from His mighty character as our sovereign Lord.
