We Love God!

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

Your faith is a beacon of light in a dark world. Let it shine brightly and inspire others to seek God and His unfailing love. Your testimony can make a difference and lead others to experience the transformative power of faith.

I was a sinner, less perfect than God. By conviction of the Holy Spirit I learned that my condition would incur the eternal condemnation of God if I did not submit to His grace. I acknowledged myself a sinner and threw myself on His mercy and grace, recognizing that He had brought salvation to earth through His Son Jesus Christ. After God the Father put God the Son to death on the cross, He could proclaim grace and pardon to all who would submit to Him. I came to the cross, believed His promise about His Son, and God declared me righteous even while I was ungodly and gave me authority to become His child. I ceased to be a child of wrath and became a child of God, justified from all things. Simultaneously, I was declared to be an heir of God, joint-heir with Jesus Christ. I received eternal life, and shall never perish. I was accepted in the Beloved; my body became the temple of the Holy Spirit; I was born of the Spirit into the family of God, baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption. I have an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that fades not away, reserved in Heaven for me. Although I know myself to be a sinner, I am not concerned about the penalty for sin, since the Lord Jesus Christ bore the penalty and declared me righteous. The love of Christ becomes the constraining factor in my life, and I seek to glorify Him as Lord. I know Him as my Creator and so have peace of mind. I know Him as Savior and so have peace of conscience. In the measure that I enter into the second rest, I know Him as Lord and find the peace that passes all understanding.

81:1 (Auf der Gittith, vorzusingen, Asaphs.) Singet fröhlich Gott, der unsre Stärke ist; jauchzt dem Gott Jakobs!

81:2 Hebet an mit Psalmen und gebet her die Pauken, liebliche Harfen mit Psalter!

81:3 Blaset im Neumond die Posaune, in unserm Fest der Laubhütten!

81:4 Denn solches ist die Weise in Israel und ein Recht des Gottes Jakobs.

81:5 Solche hat er zum Zeugnis gesetzt unter Joseph, da sie aus Ägyptenland zogen und fremde Sprache gehört hatten,

81:6 da ich ihre Schulter von der Last entledigt hatte und ihre Hände der Körbe los wurden.

81:7 Da du mich in der Not anriefst, half ich dir aus; ich erhörte dich, da dich das Wetter überfiel, und versuchte dich am Haderwasser. (Sela.)

81:8 Höre, mein Volk, ich will unter dir zeugen; Israel, du sollst mich hören,

81:9 daß unter dir kein anderer Gott sei und du keinen fremden Gott anbetest.

81:10 Ich bin der HERR, dein Gott, der dich aus Ägyptenland geführt hat: Tue deinen Mund weit auf, laß mich ihn füllen!

81:11 Aber mein Volk gehorcht nicht meiner Stimme, und Israel will mich nicht.

81:12 So habe ich sie gelassen in ihres Herzens Dünkel, daß sie wandeln nach ihrem Rat.

81:13 Wollte mein Volk mir gehorsam sein und Israel auf meinem Wege gehen,

81:14 so wollte ich ihre Feinde bald dämpfen und meine Hand über ihre Widersacher wenden,

81:15 und denen, die den HERRN hassen, müßte es wider sie fehlen; ihre Zeit aber würde ewiglich währen,

81:16 und ich würde sie mit dem besten Weizen speisen und mit Honig aus dem Felsen sättigen.
