Now Unto the King Eternal

What we have heard in the reading of this verse is a doxology. Doxa is the Greek word for glory. A doxology is a short hymn or verse of declarative praise. It speaks glory or praise to the Triune God for His attributes or His works. This doxology extols both. The way that this verse is put together shows us that praise is due to God for His glorious attributes, and that praise ought to proceed from the fullness of our hearts and burst forth from our lips. So as we look at each of the 4 attributes mentioned here, the goal we will strive for is that each of us who has come to know God through our Lord Jesus Christ will learn the importance of declarative praise. Will you begin to engage in declarative praise, even as the Apostle Paul did?
