We can be certain that when God calls a thing great, it really deserves the description. Man's idea of what constitutes greatness, and God's, are as far apart as heaven from earth. Man hails the discovery of the poles as a great achievement, but God rejoices in seeking, finding and saving a lost and guilty sinner. But God speaks and rejoices in the accomplished work of His beloved Son, by which a full, free and eternal salvation has been provided from sin's doom, dominion and domain for every sinner who will receive Christ as his Savior and Lord. Man thinks in terms of time , but God in terms of eternity .
Man estimates the value of a thing from a natural and materialistic standpoint.
God views things in the light of their spiritual and eternal value. My ways, saith the Lord. Let us now consider several reasons why God's salvation can be truly described as being great. First, it is a great salvation because of its Personnel . God, the Father, is its Originator and He made it possible by the gift of His beloved Son.
