Commentary on Acts 8:10
The Samaritans called Simon 'the great power of God' - an idolatrous attribution of divine glory to a mere man. This reveals humanity's readiness to worship anything but the true God. The phrase may suggest Simon claimed to be a divine emanation or the manifestation of God's power on earth. From a Reformed perspective, this demonstrates mankind's religious impulse misdirected toward false objects of worship. Only the gospel's power could break this deception and turn hearts to the true God.
