HOW TO KNOW GOD PERSONALLY - PART 2 Psalm 19vs3-4: There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. The apostle Paul referred to this Psalm when he explained that everyone knows about God because nature proclaims Gods existence and power (Psalm 1vs19-20). This does not cancel the need for missions because the message of Gods salvation found in His Word, the Holy Bible, must still be told to the ends of the earth. While nature points to the existence of God, the Holy Bible tells us about salvation. Gods people must explain to others how they can have a relationship with God. Although people everywhere should already believe in a Creator by just looking at the evidence of nature around them, God needs us to explain His love, mercy, and grace. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO TAKE GODS MESSAGE TO THE WORLD? Psalm 19vs7-11: The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward. When we think of the law, often think of something that keeps us from having fun. But here we see the opposite - law that revives us, makes us wise, gives joy to the heart, gives light to the eyes, warns us, and rewards us. Thats because Gods laws are guidelines and lights for our path, rather than chains on our hands and feet. They point at danger and warns us, then point at success and guide us. Psalm 19vs12-13: Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults. Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; Let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgression. Many Christians are plauged by guilt. They worry that they may have committed a sin unknowingly, done something good with selfish intentions, failed to put their whole heart into a task, or neglected what they should have done. Guilt can play an important role in bringing us to Christ and in keeping us behaving properly, but it should not cripple us or make us fearful. God fully and completely forgives us - even for those sins we do unknowingly. .....TO BE CONTINUED.
