Divine Condescension
2 Chronicles 6:18
But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you…


I. TO THE CERTAINTY AND EVIDENCE OF THE FACT THAT GOD HAS DWELT, AND STILL DWELLS WITH MEN ON THE EARTH. We cannot doubt the fact when we reflect —

1. On the essential omnipresence and universal agency of God.

2. That God has thus spiritually dwelt, and still does dwell with men on the earth.

II. TO THE GREATNESS OF HIS CONDESCENSION AND GRACE IN THIS RESPECT.

(D. Dickinson, D.D.)
