God Who Dwells In Unapproachable Light Series

“To Him—to God—be honour and eternal dominion.” If we understand the greatness of God, worship will be spontaneous and natural. If we understand the character of God, we will worship. If we fail to know Who we worship, it is doubtful that we will worship. To God—invincible, immortal, inaccessible and invisible—be honour and might and glory forever. Amen.

It is fitting to conclude the doxology with this single word, “Amen.” “So be it!” “Amen.”
