We Love God!

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

Gossip is saying behind a person’s back what you would never say to his or her face; flattery is saying to a person’s face what you would never say behind his or her back.
Kent Hughes

Some will say we need to add “good works” to Christ’s work to be saved. Others will say since we are saved by God’s grace and because all of our sins are already forgiven in Christ we can live as we wish. So, the first says following God’s law is necessary to be saved. The other says following God’s law is unnecessary once saved. Both are terribly wrong! We are saved by grace alone, but the grace that saves is never alone. God’s grace will always give us the desire and ability to follow God. The greatest evidence that we are recipients of God’s grace will be seen through our obedience – not to get saved or stay saved, but proof that we truly are already saved.

113:1 Halleluja! Lobet, ihr Knechte des HERRN, lobet den Namen des HERRN!

113:2 Gelobet sei des HERRN Name von nun an bis in Ewigkeit!

113:3 Vom Aufgang der Sonne bis zu ihrem Niedergang sei gelobet der Name des HERRN!

113:4 Der HERR ist hoch über alle Heiden; seine Ehre geht, soweit der Himmel ist.

113:5 Wer ist wie der HERR, unser Gott? der sich so hoch gesetzt hat

113:6 und auf das Niedrige sieht im Himmel und auf Erden;

113:7 der den Geringen aufrichtet aus dem Staube und erhöht den Armen aus dem Kot,

113:8 daß er ihn setze neben die Fürsten, neben die Fürsten seines Volkes;

113:9 der die Unfruchtbare im Hause wohnen macht, daß sie eine fröhliche Kindermutter wird. Halleluja!
