We Love God!

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

Why not love the world? 1. Because the gain of it is the loss of the soul – Matthew 16:25. 2. Because its friendship is hatred to God – James 4:4. 3. Because it did not know Christ – John 1:10; 17:25. 4. Because it hates Christ – John 7:7; 15:18. 5. Because the Holy Spirit has forbidden us – 1 John 2:15. 6. Because Christ did not pray for it – John 17:9. 7. Because Christ’s people do not belong to it – John 17:16. 8. Because it will not receive the Spirit – John 14:27. 9. Because its Prince is Satan – John 13:31; 16:11. 10. Because Christ’s kingdom is not of it – John 18:36. 11. Because its wisdom is foolishness – 1 Corinthians 1:20. 12. Because its wisdom is ignorance – 1 Corinthians 1:21. 13. Because Christ does not belong to it – John 8:23. 14. Because it is condemned – 1 Corinthians 11:32. 15. Because the fashion of it will pass away – 1 Corinthians 7:31 . 16. Because it slew Christ – James 5:6; Matthew 21:39. 17. Because it is crucified to us – Galatians 6:14. 18. Because we are crucified to it – Galatians 6:14. 19. Because it is the seat of wickedness – 2 Peter 1:4; 1 John 5:19.
Horatius Bonar

When I speak of “means,” I have in view Bible-reading, private prayer, regular attendance on public worship, regular hearing of God’s Word, and regular reception of the Lord’s Supper. I lay it down as a simple matter of fact, that no one who is careless about such things must ever expect to make much progress in sanctification. I can find no record of any eminent saint who ever neglected them. They are appointed channels through which the Holy Spirit conveys fresh supplies of grace to the soul, and strengthens the work which He has begun in the inward man. Let men call this legal doctrine if they please, but I will never shrink from declaring my belief that there are no “spiritual gains without pains”… Our God is a God who works by means, and He will never bless the soul of that man who pretends to be so high and spiritual that he can get on without them.
