THERE IS DELIGHT IN TRUE SERVICE FOR GOD

 

By A. W. Tozer

 

 

 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth

knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the

fulness of God.    - Ephesians 3:19

 

   The Bible instructs the Christian believer that he

should be dedicated to the glory of the One whom

we have not yet seen, because we love Him. That

is the sum of Christianity - to know Him and to

love Him!

 

  "This is eternal life, that they might know me,"

Jesus taught. So, the knowledge of God is eternal

life and the knowledge of setting forth the life of

God in man is the business of the church.

 

   It is a wonderful facet of love that we always take

pleasure and delight in doing those things that are

pleasing to the one we love.  I find that the believing

Christian who really loves his Lord is never irked or

irritated in the service he is giving to Jesus Christ.

 

   The Lord will give him delight in true service for

God - and I say it this way because generally the

irksome and boring features of Christian service

are some of the things that people and organizations

have added on.  I refer to things that have no

scriptural validity.

 

   It is always pleasant and delightful to set forth the

praises of someone you really love. Those who truly

love Jesus Christ find it one of the greatest pleasures

in life to be able simply to describe how we discovered

His great love for us, and how we are trying to return

that love and devotion as we serve Him in faith each

day!
