The word "splendid" suggests beauty and brilliance, while "majestic" conveys a sense of awe-inspiring greatness. In the biblical context, God's work encompasses both the creation of the universe (Genesis 1) and His ongoing acts of providence and salvation. The splendor and majesty of God's work are evident in the natural world, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/19.htm">Psalm 19:1</a>, which declares that the heavens proclaim the glory of God. This phrase also reflects the idea that God's actions are not only powerful but also executed with perfect wisdom and purpose, as seen in the deliverance of Israel from Egypt (<a href="/exodus/15-6.htm">Exodus 15:6-7</a>). Theologically, this can be connected to the work of Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection are the ultimate demonstration of God's majestic work in redeeming humanity (<a href="/colossians/1-16.htm">Colossians 1:16-20</a>).<p><b>His righteousness endures forever.</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the eternal nature of God's righteousness. In the biblical context, righteousness refers to God's moral perfection and His faithfulness to His covenant promises. The enduring nature of His righteousness assures believers of His unchanging character and His commitment to justice and truth. This is echoed in passages like <a href="/isaiah/51-6.htm">Isaiah 51:6</a>, which contrasts the temporary nature of the earth with the everlasting righteousness of God. Historically, this assurance would have been particularly comforting to the Israelites, who faced various challenges and uncertainties. Theologically, this enduring righteousness is fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who embodies God's righteousness and offers it to believers through faith (<a href="/romans/3-21.htm">Romans 3:21-22</a>).
