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!
