We’re all moving towards something. At Hope, we are trying to see what the Bible is leading us toward. A next step based on the Bible, is another step toward understanding God. And as John the Apostle said, God is love.
How do you get to know God’s love more? One way is by setting religion down and picking up the Gospel. We hand out cards every week that have the Gospel set up against Religion. Look at the second one:
In Religion, I obey God in order to obtain things from God.
In the Gospel, I obey God to act like Him because I love Him.
Psalm 19 says it this way:
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
…
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
How would your life change if following God’s will for you was like tasting honey or more valuable than gold? It’s all there for you in Jesus. Come find out more Sundays at 9:30 or 11:00!
