ARE YOU SATISFIED IN GOD’S PRESENCE? Part 2
(A Sermon)
…Continuation
Another pertinent question in accessing satisfaction in God’s presence is the place of faith. According to Apostle Paul in Philippians 1:25, “And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith;” The mention of “joy of faith”, may literally mean “joy that accompanies faith”. To be satisfied with God’s presence, you need faith in Christ.
The ability to have Christian love is another means of ensuring overflowing satisfaction in God’s presence. Christian love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others. When you exhibit Christian love with an unbeliever and share with him that joy in God grows by making sacrifices to meet the needs of others, it will bring him into our joy in the Lord’s vineyard. This will ultimately make us be satisfied knowing that God’s presence is with us.
In conclusion, God has shown us the path of life to take and in His presence, there is fullness of joy. To be satisfied in God’s presence, a believer must delight in the Lord, show a great amount of faith and demonstrate Christian love, among other virtues of the Kingdom. I commend you as believers to follow that path and He will be most glorified when you are most satisfied in Him.
God bless you!
