Above all

WORDs of Saving Grace - above all

Psalms 95:3  For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

He is great, great and above all. Meaning it is futile to acknowledge of worship any other.

Ephesians 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

In most modern societies idol worship "gods" is not a practice which we usually experience on the surface. 

However, in reality if we were to observe society as a whole it is clear that pleasure and prosperity are king in the hearts of mankind. This is not much different than the babylonian fertility worship that occured in during the Old testament psalmist's life and New Testament the life of the apostle Paul.  1 Kings 11:5-8

The goal for the "god of this world" is to blind the hearts of those who cannot see the Gospel.

2 Corinthians 4:4

In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Jesus clearly explained that no one can worship God, at the same time that they worship the god of properity.

Matthew 6:24

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

There is truly only one God who gives eternal peace, love, grace, mercy and wisdom. He alone is the great King who gave His life for us all. This exhalted Him above every other name.

Philippians 2:9-11

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
