As His children, God wants us to come to Him and tell Him we love Him. You cannot do that unless you know Him and see the things He has done for you. When you have that relationship with Him, you cannot help the worship that then overflows.

Jesus said to His disciples that if they follow Him that He would make them fishers of men. He says the same to us, making it inevitable that if we are truly following Jesus then we will be “catching fish” all along the way.

When we love other people that are different, we show others that our love comes from God and it’s Him who can unite us all. God loved the whole world and sacrificed His Son so that we could all be a family. No matter what reasons we may have to hate other people, we are called for higher reasons to love them with God’s help.

When we accept God’s forgiveness and give ourselves to Him, He shines a light in us and cleans us up. That light shines through us to anyone around, exposing the darkness they live in and attracting them to hearing about the Gospel and how they can also begin living in the light.

The Bible teaches that there is both a physical and a spiritual death. Unless Jesus returns in our lifetime, we are all going to experience a physical death. In order to be saved and made alive spiritually forever we must believe in the saving work of Christ on the cross for our sins.

When we look for Biblical teaching, we need to be willing to find something that may make us uncomfortable because it convicts us of our sin. When we are teaching others we need to speak the truth to them, but in a loving way. When the Word of God is preached, the power of God, through Christ, comes with it and brings change.

God has chosen specific people to reveal Himself to through Scripture. If the light has not turned on for us to see the power that God offers us, we must ask Him to show us so that we may live with purpose between now and Heaven.

The world offers us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, yet following the world’s way brings us death, slavery to sin, and despair. The Bible tells us the truth about following Jesus as the only way to have an abundant life, true freedom from slavery to sin, and joy the exceeds all the sorrows of this world.

It is only by God’s Spirit revealing to us the promises and truth in Scripture that we are able to see and understand what He offers to us. God did not just give us a ticket to Heaven but instead He continues to reveal Himself and His limitless power through His living Word.

Jesus modeled perfect love by giving His life for us. He calls us to love each other as He loves us. When we love God, we cannot help but to obey Him and that love and obedience shows the world to whom we belong.
