The great "praise" book of the Bible, in simplicity and reverence proclaims:

"The heavens declare the glory of ...God," (Psalms 19:1)

Further in the same Old Testament book, the psalmist in absolute awe describes a great fundamental truth:

By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
(Psalms 33:6,9)

Modern scientists study the heavens with increasingly powerful telescopes, revealing not only thousands of stars, (as man's wisdom once thought), but tens of thousands of galaxies composed of hundreds of thousands of individual stars. Not only does the omnipotent creator know the exact number, but he knows them by name:

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
(Psalms 147:4,5)

The New Testament clearly reveals that the Lord Jesus Christ is the creator who created all things whether they are visible or not and by His power all things are held together:

For by him [Jesus] were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

(Colossians 1:16-17)

The majesty of God is not only seen in creation, but it is displayed even more in the awesome "gift of life." By no ones merit, effort, or work of any kind, "life" is given.

The Apostle Paul, when defending the "Unknown God" at Mars Hill, presented to his opponents that they could know the very one that gave them life:

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

For in him we live, and move, and have our being;... (Acts 17:27-28)

Some see God's glory displayed but feel that He is "far off" and unconcerned about his creation. The scriptures reveal that the opposite is true:

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7)

Unfortunately, in the beginning of God's perfect creation, man rebelled against the giver of life and chose to disobey his Lord. This terrible sin nature was passed on to all human kind. But the "awesome God" does not abandon us to our well deserved fate of physical and spiritual death but offers the solution as a "gift." A perfect substitute is sacrificed, the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Prophet Isaiah prophesied about Jesus and His suffering for us:

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:5-6)

Only an incredible, loving, "Awesome God" would love us while we were yet sinners. Yet this is exactly what Paul in his book to the Romans says:

For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:7-8)

Just a few verses earlier, the Apostle Paul reveals that this "awesome God" will "justify" us, (declare us righteous) by faith in which we have "peace" with God:

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

(Romans 5:1)

Can you imagine, an "Awesome God" who loves us so much, that he willingly was beaten, mocked and nailed to a cruel cross. Suffered and bled for our personal sins. Died and rose again to draw us to Himself...DEPT PAID. Can we fathom such love?

Believers also have the promise that this "Awesome God" will never leave us and will always help us:

...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. (Hebrews 13:5-6)

An finally, not only can we have peace with God, our sins forgiven, and an intimate relationship with the creator, but this "awesome God" gives us "eternal life":

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)

Jesus promised:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. (John 6:47)
