Where is the Love?

My Utmost For His Highest

 

‘The goal of the missionary [any Christian] is to do God’s will, not to be useful or to win the lost. A missionary is useful and he does win the lost, but that is not his goal. His goal is to do the will of his Lord.’ CHAMBERS

 

Jesus is our example .. He was all about doing the Father’s will.  That is why Jesus came .. think about John 3:16 … God, the Father, sent His Son, Jesus to do what .. fulfill the will of the Father.

 

Jesus said … “I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.” (John 5:30)

 

Can that be your heart’s cry?  To not seek your own will but the will of the Father who saved you by sending His Son.  How valuable is your salvation?  Valuable enough to lay your life down and walk in step with the Father’s will?

 

Jesus said the test of true faith is obedience…  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. (Matthew 7:21)

 

In Experiencing God, Henry Blackaby said that if you have a problem with obedience .. you have a love problem.  If you love God, you will obey Him .. if you don’t, you won’t.  It is really pretty simple.  The great danger for the Christian is believing that a little sin .. a little disobedience … doesn’t matter …

 

Here is the principle in James 2 … “8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.”

 

We cannot wink at some sin as if God won’t mind .. we make a mockery of the cross of Christ … God said ‘Be holy because I am holy”  You cannot be holy on your own, by simply trying harder  .. you need the power of God in you … Christian don’t be satisfied with a little sin .. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
