Speechless: Who is God and What is Man?

Psalm 8

• Introduction

• Who is God?
  • God is the most transcendent, glorious Being in the Universe. (Psalm 145:3; 90:2)
  • God is the absolute authority over the Universe
  • We understand God’s greatness by noticing 2 things:
    • What God has made (v. 1b, 3)
    • Who He uses to accomplish His will (v. 2)

• What is Man?
  • This is a rhetorical question.
  • We are completely, utterly and scandalously sinful.
    1. Romans 3:9-18
  • We are stubbornly, willingly and frustratingly rebellious.
    1. Romans 2:4-6
  • We are absolutely spiritually dead.
    1. Ephesians 2:1-3

• How does God treat us?
  • He thinks of us (v. 4a)
  • He takes care of us (v. 4b)
  • He honors us (v. 5)
  • He gives us authority over the animals (vv. 6-8)
  • He saves us (Hebrews 2:9-11)

• What’s the point? (Conclusions/Applications)
  • Your opinion of God is way too low.
  • Your opinion of yourself is way too high.
  • Your opinion of Jesus is way too important.
