However, the book of Romans articulates that humans have ignored the word of God and continuously live in sin, regardless of the outcome. Humans were living reckless lives and ignored the word of God. Humanity could only be saved by believing in Faith and God’s grace.…

    He continues to show His benevolence, “God’s mercy appears in His continual sending of saviors and judges” (Clowney, 2013, p. 141) God continues to show us every day that we wake up, that He intends to keep the promise that, “The “seed” of the woman will crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15); man’s rebellion will be overruled.” (Clowney, 2013, p. 41), which He made to Eve. God continues to abide by every promise and covenant He has made to man, and for the most part, man continues to not listen, and live upon his own power and knowledge. It is, however, all a part of God’s plan.…

    Psalm 68 Analysis

    • 710 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Psalm 68 is an amazing poem written by David that gives insight into the character and qualities of God as sovereign king of both Israel and the world. What is more, the psalm bounces back and forth from speaking to God; using personal pronouns such as ‘you,’ and at the same time David is telling the reader about God. Both of these methods lend well for worship. In addition, David was a king, so his perspective of God as king and the role of the king for his people threads all the way through the entire psalm. Psalm 68 lists specific qualities of God as king, shows his primary activities on behalf of his people and parallels to how King Jesus lived while on earth.…

    The analysis of expectations on David from the different perspectives ---Zeju Li In general view, King is the divine representation of God. His power is unimpeachable and his majesty shall be glorified. However, King is not perfect: He can commit mistakes, he can indulge himself in wine and debauchery, and he can bereave property of his people as well. But people will not be inclined to withdraw his majesty and gift that men endow for the purpose of seeking protection of their life, land, and anything because King is the physical defense of people’s safety.…

    People the world over tend to have highly inflated and self-delusory opinions of themselves and go to great length to defend and conserve that opinion.

As we proceed it might be useful for us to keep in mind certain things, like: Although this incident occurred almost three thousand years ago, it still has important things to teach us.…
