God Lovers
In this sermon God Lovers, It does not matter who I am. What counts is that I am a God lover: heart, mind, and soul. Names may come from prevailing circumstances at the birth of the child. Parents look at the meaning of the name. It identifies the character that parents want the child to copy. People have the tendency to live up to their name. A name could be something to inherit. Who is a lover of God? Someone that Has God at heart, and in his heart (Acts 13:22). Obeys the Word of God (John 14:21; 21; 1 John 5:3; 20-21). He is a doer of the Word. Conforms his life to the will of God (1 John 2:15-17). Loves others (1 John 4:20). Draws closer to God (James 4:8).“Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment” (Matthew 22:37-38). What a privilege to be “beloved of God”, the focus of God’s affection and the recipient of His loving-kindness. Who can explain it? I can’t. It’s a mystery. One thing is sure. I am a God-lover. What about you?
