JEWELS FOR THE SOUL

What does the Lord require of you? He has told you. He has shown you all things that is required of you in His Holy Word the Bible. He sent Jesus Christ to show you the way, the truth and to give your life, life that is abundant, everlasting, and eternal. Jesus says unto you “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man come unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6) What God require of you is in the life Jesus lived while He was on earth 2000 years ago. The Bible will show you everything about God. It will explain the magnificent, wonderful things of God the Father, even the extraordinary love that He has for each of you who are His children. The Bible will bring you to God and put you in His holy presence. Here to you will find out just “what does your God require of you”

It is a spiritual worship that the Lord required, not externals, not outward gifts, but the heart. So, if you will bring me an offering, bring me yourself, there is no other gift that the Lord so much desires. The prophet, Micah mentions three things that the Lord requires of His people: To do justly, here lies the equities of life. To love mercy here lies the kindnesses of life, and with care, mercy should be rendered cheerfully making sure that you are not doing mercy, but to love it, to take a delight in it, you should find great pleasure in the forgiveness of injuries, in the helping of the poor, in the cheering of the sick, in the teaching of the ignorant, in the winning of sinners to the ways of God. You should walk humbly with thy God. These are the things which please Him; and when we are in Christ He becomes our righteousness, these are the sacrifices with which God is well pleased; they make an offering of a sweet smell, a holy incense which we may present before Him. Speak not so much of your outward ordinances and your well worshiped services, with your abundance music, or your human eloquence and learning, God want your heart”, “He want truth worship”. These other things don’t delight the Lord. But if the heart is in the offering, in the worship, in the music, in the speaking, these things delight the Lord; no offering is acceptable unless the outward conduct shows that the heart is right with Him.

“God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)

Praise the Lord!!!
