The Exclusivity of God
Geoffrey R. Kirkland, Pastor
The exclusivity of God means that God is God alone. There is none like Him, none comparable to Him, none equal to Him, and none besides Him.
Our God, the God of the Bible is the only God. He is the only True God. He is the only Living God. That means there is no other created thing or being in all the universe that is comparable to our God. He is the infinite One, robed with perfect Majesty, triumphant and splendid over all other things. King David said: There is none like you and no one besides you! Jeremiah prayed and said: there is none like you O LORD for you are great and great is your Name in might.
For God to be exclusive means that He alone reigns as supreme. It demands our sole and exclusive allegiance, praise, thanksgiving, worship and honor for Him. It means that we should live our days, with all our might and exerting all our energies for His supremacy.
The exclusivity of God means that we are not God. But He alone is God. It means we are under Him, accountable to Him, servants belonging to Him, and entirely at His bidding. He alone — as God — decrees and determines what is best for us and how and when our lives will begin and end. God Himself decrees: “I am the LORD and there is none else.”
The exclusivity of God calls you to humility before His majesty. It beckons your highest praise because He alone is perfectly, constantly and marvelously good and wise. It summons you to heartfelt worship and thanksgiving. It also means you and I should open our mouths and speak of our God for He alone is always and ever the great one, the perfect one, the unrivaled one. Satan is not God’s arch-rival. God has no arch-rivals. God is entirely exclusive with none to stay his hand and resist God’s bidding and decrees. So let the exclusivity of God propel you to worship Him for there is none like Him. And He gives Himself fully, personally, relationally, constantly to you. He says: I am YOUR God and You are My people! Marvel! Worship! And praise the exclusivity of your God!
