We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

“So that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.” When we serve in this manner, God is glorified from the beginning to the end. He saved us. He gives us the spiritual gift. He motivates us to use it. He gives us the right spiritual heart to love others. He gives us the right words to say. He gives us the necessary strength. He brings the desired results. He receives all the glory. We can take no credit for ourselves.

In seeking after holiness we are not so much seeking after a thing as we are seeking a Person. The blessings of the gospel – election, justification, sanctification, glorification, and all the rest – have been deposited in no other treasury but Christ. We don’t just want holiness. We want the Holy One in whom we have been counted holy and are now being made holy. To run hard after holiness is another way of running hard after God.
