“More And More”
Monday, November 11, 2024Key Verse
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9
Text — 1Corinthians 2:9-13
Message
After he repented of his sins and became a child of God, Jarrett noticed that there is a special joy he experiences anytime he shares Jesus’ love with sinners and they repent. He discovered that the joy that filled his heart for loving and obeying God was more than the happiness he had whenever he received gifts or passed his examinations.
The joy and the blessings that come to a friend of Jesus, who loves God with all of his/her heart and obeys His commandments are greater than anything this world has to offer. As young as Samuel was, he discovered this and dedicated his life to God and His service. This was also true of Paul the apostle after he surrendered his life to God on his way to Damascus. Do you really love Jesus? Do you obey Him all the time? Give your heart to Christ and ask Him to help you love and please Him in everything you do. There are many more things that God would give those that love Him with all of their hearts.
