WHAT MAKES AN ORDINARY CHRISTIAN TO BE PRECIOUS AND CLOSE TO THE HEART OF GOD?
( Psalms 91:14-16 ) [14]Because he hath set his love
upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath
known my name.
[15]He shall call upon me, and I
will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour
him.
[16]With long life will I satisfy
him, and shew him my salvation.
1. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS SETS THEIR LOVE ON GOD.
( Psalms 91:14 ) [14]Because he hath set his love
upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath
known my name.
2. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO BE CLOSE TO GOD.
( Psalms 73:28 ) But it is good for me to draw near
to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
3. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO FEAR GOD IN THEIR
LIFE.
( Psalms 128:1-6 ) [1] Blessed is every one that
feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
[2]For thou shalt eat the labour
of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
[3]Thy wife shall be as a fruitful
vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about
thy table.
[4]Behold, that thus shall the man
be blessed that feareth the LORD.
[5]The LORD shall bless thee out
of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.
[6]Yea, thou shalt see thy
children's children, and peace upon Israel.
4. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS DELIGHT IN THE WORD OF GOD.
( Psalms 1:1-3 ) [1]Blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor
sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
[2]But his delight is in the law
of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
[3]And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
5. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO SERVE GOD.
( Joshua 24:15 ) And if it seem evil unto you to
serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which
your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of
the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve
the LORD.
6. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO BE FAITHFUL TO
GOD.
( Proverbs 28:20 ) A faithful man shall abound with
blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
7. THE CHRISTIANS WHO CHOOSE TO FULFILL THE GREAT
COMMISSION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( I Thessalonians
2:19-20 ) [19]For
what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the
presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?
[20]For ye are our glory and joy.
8. THE CHRISTIANS WHO ALWAYS CHOOSE TO BE FAITHFUL IN
GIVING.
( II Corinthians
9:6-10 ) [6]But
this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which
soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
[7]Every man according as he
purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth a cheerful giver.
[8]And God is able to make all
grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things,
may abound to every good work:
[9](As it is written, He hath
dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for
ever.
[10]Now he that ministereth seed
to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown,
and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
* God bless you all always *
