DEVOTIONAL BIBLE STUDY: “Those Who Love God”
Every one of us loves something or someone. Unfortunately, that someone may be our self because there are many who love self above anything else in the world. But Jesus very plainly, definitely declares:
“Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
and with all thy mind.” Matthew 22:37
A lot of good things happen to THOSE WHO LOVE GOD:
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD PLEASE HIM. When our children obey us, we are pleased. For one thing, their obedience demonstrates that they love and respect us. So it is, when we obey God’s command to love Him, it brings great joy to Him, and to us when we obey our Father in Heaven. (John 14:15,23; I John 5:3).
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD LOVE OTHERS. Jesus did, and He taught us to do the same thing. As a matter-of-fact, Jesus told us to even love our enemies and those who despitefully use us. Human nature tells us to punch them in the kisser instead of loving them. It is a lot like drinking sour milk, you hate it but sometimes we have to do it. One thing to do, is to pray for them, that way they are a little more palatable; but we HAVE to love them. Who said being Christian was easy! (Matthew 5:44; I John 5:1).
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD HATE SIN. We have too many so-called Christians playing around with sin, like playing around with a rattle snake! Steer clear of anything we know to be wrong, or the Holy Spirit convicts us of. God tells us not to so much as touch those things that defile a Christian. (II Corinthians 6:17). If we love Him, we listen to Him---and obey Him. (Psalm 97:1; I John 2:15).
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD ARE JOYFUL. It is impossible to be a good Christian and a sour-puss at the same time! That is because the dear Lord Jesus brings us joy as we walk with Him and love Him. David hit the nail on the head when he declared, “Let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee.” (Psalm 5:11). Instead of a sad face we can have a happy face--but it has to come from the heart! If our heart is right with God, and we love Him with our heart, we will spread joy instead of gloom. (Matthew 5:16; Nehemiah 8:10).
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD DO NOT WORRY. It is easy for some of us to worry; it just comes natural for some. But when we love God and know that He works everything out for good to those who love Him, we can throw worry to the wind and go on our way rejoicing. (Romans 8:28). When we realized that when we love God, and leave things in His hands, everything will be good—then we can relax and rejoice. (Philippians 4:6).
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD ARE SAVED FOREVER. I suspect some of you dear friends have the idea you can be saved and lost tomorrow. But God says otherwise. Jesus told us He holds us in His hand, and then, God, the Father holds Jesus’ hand on top of that. I don’t hold onto Jesus; Jesus holds onto me. (John 10:27-29). Sometimes people will say, “But what if I break out of His hand?” Good grief, little old you breaking the grasp of the Almighty?
v THOSE WHO LOVE GOD NEVER PART FOR THE LAST TIME. We hear from so many who have lost a spouse, or a child. Jesus says if we trust Him, and love Him, we are a part of His Family right now—some on earth and some in Heaven—but one day ALL in heaven. (Ephesians 3:14,15).
Yes, a lot of good things happen to those who love God, as He commanded. You can love Him if you want too, Jesus makes it possible. (Matthew 11:28-30). We love God, and we love you too! We thank you for standing by and helping us in this wonderful ministry. Some of you have been with us for many years with your prayers and gifts. God bless you.
