I am reading Henry Blackaby’s book, “Experiencing God” My Dear friend Ethan Carr is also reading it and we talked about the book last weekend. I strongly encourage you to read this book to help you better understand about having a close, personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
God’s Nature:
1. God is love——His Will is always best.
2. God is all-knowing—-His directions are always right.
3. God is all-powerful—-He can enable you to accomplish His Will.
According to 1 John 4:16, “God is love.” This does not say that God loves, though He does love perfectly and unconditionally. The Scripture says that God’s essential nature is love. God will never act contrary to His nature. You will never experience God expressing His Will except in demonstration of perfect love. God’s kind of love always seeks His best for each person. If we reject His best, He will discipline us. However, the discipline will come from a heavenly Father who loves us and who will do whatever is necessary to bring us to a place in our lives where we can receive what He wants to give us. See Hebrews 12: 5-11.
Your confidence in the love nature of God is crucial.
Pastor Dewey’s note: So many do not understand the DISCIPLINE ASPECT of God’s love.
Grab your Bible this morning and go to Church and praise, worship and study the ways of God. AMEN!
