Come To Know God And Give Praise

Do you know the Lord? Are you living to understand His ways? If you do have a relationship with God, you would know that He is our King. He is the Lord of all. Nothing is greater than our God. His love is extended to everyone. His will is that people would repent of their sins and call upon His Name for forgiveness. He is mighty to save. There is nothing He would not do, in order to help us along the way. Oh how gracious is the Lord. He is so good to me. The bible also speaks about our glorious God, ²“O clap your hands, all ye people; shout unto God with the voice of triumph. For the Lord most high is terrible; he is a great King over all the earth.” In all His beauty there is also wrath. For everyone that looks to Him in faith, they are redeemed from their sins. However, those that don’t believe and are not covered by His blood are shut out forever from heaven. Till our last dying breath there is freedom from all guilt because of the cross. However, once we die, there is no more redemption for sins. ⁴We all die once and then comes the judgment. To those that loved God and their neighbor are welcomed into heaven. ⁵To those that loved themselves and other things above God are cast into the lake of fire. ⁶In heaven, there are no more pains or sorrows but in hell there is much suffering and torment.

¹Choose ye, this day, whom you will serve. I pray that your heart is compelled to repent, if you are in sin. If you are covered by the blood of Jesus, then rejoice. ²“Sing praises to God, sing praises: sing praises unto our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth.” He is the one that sets us free from all addiction. Because of His love, you can be freed from bondage. Though you broke his commandments, His mercy has fallen upon you. There is nothing that cannot be forgiven. There is nothing to big that the Lord cannot heal. Anything that is broken can be fixed but only through Jesus. What we try to do things in life, without Him, the joy does not last. It only brings temporary satisfaction and nothing we gain from it lasts after death. Only the things we’ve learned from God will last. Our testimonies of His great love will be with us in the next life. Come now to Jesus and repent of all your sins. Come and be restored into newness of life. Give your life freely over to follow Him. In humility, bow down before the Lord. Come before God as Your King. ²“God reigneth over the heathen: God sitteth upon the throne of his holiness.” People of all the earth are coming to Him for salvation. ³Many are lost but those that call upon the Name of the Lord are saved. Call upon His Name today that You may find true joy that lasts.

Let us pray:
Oh Lord, I am grateful to know You. I am humbled just to be in Your presence. Thank You for coming to save me from my sins. Though I had fallen into bondage, You heard my cries and broke my bonds. I am no longer wrapped up in the lusts of my flesh but am raptured in Your beauty. I want to know You better. I want less of me and more of You. I confess that I am lost without You. I need You in my life. Forgive me of my sins. You are my Savior and I trust in You. You are my matchless King. I rejoice in Your holy Name. I praise You above all things. I love You. Amen.
