For God Loves Us

All Creation Sings God’s Praise.

Sing and Dance Along!

Isaiah 6:3

And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.”

.

Revelation 14:7

He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment has come; and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

…

Words of Grace for Today –

…

How right it is that we should tremble with fear before God,

and out of fear obey all God’s commandments, worshipping him along with all of creation.

But

We fail at that miserably, so to demand it of us is futile.

We can, with these attempts to earn God’s favour, only fail and live filled with guilt, regret, and sorrow, a walking death if ever there were one.

To love God, as well as to fear God, now that is a different thing.

For we can only love God, after we realize that God first loves us, unconditionally.

Out of love we can strive to follow God’s commandments, and worship God with all creation.

We will fail.

But we do not live filled with guilt, regret, and sorrow,

for we trust God always loves us, forgives us, and renews full life in us.

…

Fear and Love God.

For God loves, and forgives, and gives us new life.

And what a full life it is!
