    Majesty Of God

    based on 10 ratings
     | 21,554 views

    An understanding of the “Majesty” of God will surely motivate us to live an upright and godly life in this present wicked generation.

    MAJESTY OF GOD (Daniel 5:18-19, Psalm 21:5) What do we mean when we talk about the “Majesty” of God? Only 30 verses in the Bible (KJV) mention the word so it is easy to let the Bible itself explain to us what God’s Majesty really is. As we read Daniel 5:18-19 we are struck by the scriptural ...read more

    It is important for us to have faith in God. Not only are we saved by putting our faith in Jesus Christ, we can remain strong in life because of faith in God.
