We Love God!

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

Because God’s eternal purposes may require the forfeiture of earthly benefits, we cannot make temporal rewards the chief motive of our obedience. Such rewards are not absolutely promised in Scripture and would be unsuitable as the chief aim of our lives. If Christians always received material blessing as a recompense for obedience, then it would be impossible to separate personal duty from divine bribery. Christianity would become merely a bartering system for personal gain. God’s ends are not so shortsighted or earthbound.

I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it.

    “It is the duty of nations, as well as of men, to
    own their dependence upon the overruling power of God and
    to recognize the sublime truth announced in the Holy Scriptures
    and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed
    whose God is the Lord.” –Abraham Lincoln
