The Existence and Attributed of God by Stephen Charnock - Part 2

Описание: 🏛️ The Giants of Faith | Stephen Charnock: The Existence and Attributes of God - Part 2
"If you try to put your own limits on God, you're not really worshiping Him anymore; you're worshiping an idol you've made." Welcome back to Faithful Life, where we continue our four-part deep dive into Stephen Charnock’s magnum opus.

In this second installment, we move from God’s existence to His awe-inspiring transcendence. We explore four massive attributes that define the sheer scale of the Creator: His Eternity, Immutability, Omnipresence, and Omniscience. Charnock doesn’t just treat these as dry theological terms; he shows how they are the "grand foundation for all true worship" and the ultimate anchor for our souls.
