Creation's Constant Sermon
All commentators agree that the heavens serve as a constant, universal sermon. They perpetually “declare” God's glory—His power, wisdom, and majesty. Scholars like Calvin and Henry emphasize that this natural testimony is so clear and powerful that it leaves all people without excuse for not acknowledging the Creator. This declaration is a continuous broadcast for all humanity to see.
