The Greatness of God is beyond the intellectual capacity of man to
comprehend, and any attempt to define His greatness is an exercise in
futility.
He has been described as omnipotent, omnipresent, the
greatest, most awesome, powerful, glorious, loving being known or
unknown to man," and perhaps every other word or expression that might
convey His greatness, but it all falls short?
Can anyone
comprehend the One who knows the nucleus of every atom, the number of
grains of sand upon the earth, the One who knows
all the stars and calls
them by name?
Is it possible to grasp the magnitude of the One
who spoke and the universe was created, the suns began to circle their
planets, plant and animal life came into being, and mankind was created?
How is it possible to measure and put into words the One that
knew each and every human being before the earth was created; the One
who sees every sparrow that falls, knows your every thought, and the
number of hairs in your head.
Who can understand eternity? What
was before the beginning of eternity? He was. "I am the Alpha and the
Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the
Almighty," (Rev 1:8).
He is amazing, indescribable, incomparable, and yet there are not enough words.
If
God had not introduced Himself, man may have never known of His
existence, because apart from God's self-disclosure, man could not have
recognized Him.
Although it is impossible to fathom the greatness of God, because He reveals Himself through His Word, we can truly know Him.
And
if there is one word in all of Scripture that best describes our "Great
and Mighty God," it is the word, "Love," "God is love."
(1 John 4:8).
"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends," (John 15:13).
God
sent His only Son "Jesus," to give His life for us. He places His
Spirit within everyone who accepts Him as Lord and Savior, thereby
restoring the oneness of God and man that had been destroyed by the sins
of Adam and Eve.
Gods Plan of Salvation
makes it possible for all who will accept Him as their Savior, to
spend eternity with Him, (John 3:16). Doesn't it make you want to
shout!!
Even though it is impossible to aptly express the Greatness of God, we can know Him, and like the psalmist, we can say,
"... What god is great like our God?" (Psa 77:13)
