AUGUST 25, 2013 To Delight In The BETTER Ways of God

Requirements For Delight in God 1) To delight in the better ways of God we must hate sin and love righteousness.

Requirements For Delight in God 2) To delight in the better ways of God we must realize that delight in sin is idol worship. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. (Colossians 3:5) For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. (Ephesians 5:5)

Requirements For Delight in God 2) To delight in the better ways of God we must realize that delight in sin is idol worship. Covetousness: An unrelenting desire for temporary pleasures, especially those pleasures possessed by others. My beloved, flee from idolatry. (1 Corinthians 10:14)

Requirements For Delight in God 3) To delight in the better ways of God we must obey - believing in faith that God’s ways are actually better. He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. (Hebrews 11:26)

Requirements For Delight in God 4) To delight in the better ways of God we must joyfully embrace trials, suffering & major disappointments in life – trusting in the providence and sovereignty of our good God. …looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2)

Response  Are you delighting in the better ways of God?  Are you delighting in sin more than delighting in the ways of God?  Are you worshipping the idols of covetous desires?  Are you enduring trial, suffering and disappointment with joy?
