We Love God!

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

He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life backing away from his treasures. To him, death is loss. He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity; he's moving daily toward his treasures. To him, death is gain. He who spends his life moving toward his treasures has reason to rejoice. Are you despairing or rejoicing?
Randy Alcorn

God, apart from Christ, is an angry, offended Sovereign. Unless we behold Him in and through Christ, the Mediator, the terrors of His Majesty would overwhelm us. We dare not approach the Father except in Christ because of our sins. We first fasten our eyes upon Christ, then upon the Father. If Christ does not bear our guilt and reconcile us unto God, we perish! Before any man can think to stand before the face of God's justice or be admitted to the secret chamber of God's mercy or partake of the riches of His grace, he must look to the Mediator, Christ Jesus.

47:1 (Ein Psalm der Kinder Korah, vorzusingen.) Frohlocket mit Händen, alle Völker, und jauchzet Gott mit fröhlichem Schall!

47:2 Denn der HERR, der Allerhöchste, ist erschrecklich, ein großer König auf dem ganzen Erdboden.

47:3 Er zwingt die Völker unter uns und die Leute unter unsre Füße.

47:4 Er erwählt uns unser Erbteil, die Herrlichkeit Jakobs, den er liebt. (Sela.)

47:5 Gott fährt auf mit Jauchzen und der HERR mit heller Posaune.

47:6 Lobsinget, lobsinget Gott; lobsinget, lobsinget unserm König!

47:7 Denn Gott ist König auf dem ganzen Erdboden; lobsinget ihm klüglich!

47:8 Gott ist König über die Heiden; Gott sitzt auf seinem heiligen Stuhl.

47:9 Die Fürsten unter den Völkern sind versammelt zu einem Volk des Gottes Abrahams; denn Gottes sind die Schilde auf Erden, er hat sie erhöht.
