Revelation 4:11 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Ver. 11. Thou art worthy] If we would have our souls set as a pearl in that fair ring of heavenly courtiers that compass the Lamb's throne, let us praise God as they do.

For thou hast created] Our service must not be rash but reasonable, Romans 12:1, such as whereof we can render a reason. God hates a blind sacrifice, a Samaritan's service, when men worship they know not what nor why, John 4:22 .

And were created] God's power put forth in the creation and administration of the world is twice here mentioned; as that which can never be sufficiently admired and adored. See Trapp on " Gen 1:1 "
