MAJESTY OF GOD

Introduction: We sometimes use words talking about God that are not used in ordinary conversation. These are special words that we, as Christians, tend to reserve for God. Unfortunately, the meanings of these words are not always clear because we don’t use them much. One such word that this lesson is about is Majesty.
