Serve God In Reverence And Holiness
“Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:” Hebrews 12:28.
In continuation from yesterday, I want you to know that we serve God with reverence. We are expected to serve God with godly fear because that is the acceptable way to serve Him. The fear of God is scarce today in the lives of many in the church, that is why it has been said that this generation is slower than the older generation who were able to achieve things faster with God because they had a greater reverence and fear for God.
Job was the greatest man in the East in his days because he had the fear of God. See Job 1:1-3.
Secondly, I want you to know that we are expected to serve God in holiness. God wants us to live a life of holiness. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (NLT) says, “God's will is for you to be holy, so stay away from all sexual sin. Then each of you will control his own body and live in holiness and honor not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.”
Hebrews 13:4 (NLT), says, “Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery.”
Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that You cause my love to abound more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; so that I may approve things that are excellent and to remain sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
For further study, read:
Psalm 19:14, Hebrews 5:7, 1 Peter 1:17.
Doing the Word.
