We Love God!

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

When have you most recently felt the crushing pain of a burdened heart, darkened soul or guilty conscience solely because of your sin against God? Does sin hurt you as much as it hurts God? Does it make you sick, grieved or disappointed? Does it weigh on you prompting repentance and calling to God for restoration? Do you ever feel that your sin has divided you from a rich relationship with God and the feeling is one of emptiness, despair and regret?

The marks by which the true Church is known are these: If the pure doctrine of the gospel is preached therein; if she maintains the pure administration of the sacraments as instituted by Christ; if church discipline is exercised in punishing of sin; in short, if all things are managed according to the pure Word of God, all things contrary thereto rejected, and Jesus Christ acknowledged as the only Head of the Church. Hereby the true Church may certainly be known, from which no man has a right to separate himself.

Bible – russian – Синодальный перевод Книга Иова 25

25
И отвечал Вилдад Савхеянин и сказал:
держава и страх у Него; Он творит мир на высотах Своих!
Есть ли счет воинствам Его? и над кем не восходит свет Его?
И как человеку быть правым пред Богом, и как быть чистым рожденному женщиною?
Вот даже луна, и та несветла, и звезды нечисты пред очами Его.
Тем менее человек, который есть червь, и сын человеческий, который есть моль.
