It is used in various contexts to describe God, His works, His kingdom, and His commandments, as well as to compare spiritual truths and moral principles. 1. God's Supremacy: The Bible frequently emphasizes the greatness of God, highlighting His unmatched power and authority. In 1 <a href="/john/4-4.htm">John 4:4</a>, it is written, "You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." This verse underscores the supremacy of God over any worldly power or influence, reassuring believers of His indwelling presence and victory over evil. 2. Jesus Christ: Jesus is often described as greater than the prophets, kings, and religious leaders of the Old Testament. In <a href="/matthew/12-41.htm">Matthew 12:41-42</a>, Jesus declares, "The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here. The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and now One greater than Solomon is here." These comparisons highlight Jesus' superior wisdom and authority. 3. The Kingdom of Heaven: The concept of greatness is also applied to the Kingdom of Heaven. In <a href="/matthew/18.htm">Matthew 18:1-4</a>, the disciples ask Jesus who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus responds by calling a child to Him and saying, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Here, greatness is redefined as humility and childlike faith. 4. The Commandments: Jesus speaks of the greatest commandment in <a href="/matthew/22-36.htm">Matthew 22:36-40</a>. When asked which commandment is the greatest, Jesus replies, "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." The emphasis is on love as the foundation of all commandments. 5. Faith and Works: In <a href="/john/14-12.htm">John 14:12</a>, Jesus makes a profound statement about the works of His followers: "Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I am doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." This promise indicates that through faith and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, believers will continue and expand the work of Christ on earth. 6. Moral and Spiritual Comparisons: The Bible often uses "greater" to compare moral and spiritual truths. For instance, in <a href="/1_corinthians/13-13.htm">1 Corinthians 13:13</a>, Paul writes, "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love." Love is elevated as the highest virtue, surpassing even faith and hope in its enduring significance. In summary, the concept of "greater" in the Bible serves to highlight the supremacy of God, the preeminence of Jesus Christ, the values of the Kingdom of Heaven, the primacy of love, and the potential for believers to accomplish significant works through faith.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4055.htm">4055. perissoteros -- greater, more.</a> ... 4054, 4055. perissoteros. 4056 . greater, more. ...
