What God Wants From You – Terry Unthank
It’s amazing that a God who created the heavens and earth, and all that abide within, would want anything from us. Remember our righteousness is as filthy rags. But it’s true God wants you.
In the beginning God created man. Why? To be in fellowship with Him. God had the Angels to worship Him, however He wanted someone to love Him and worship Him not because they had to but because they wanted to. So man was created with a freewill. So what does God want from us.
I would like to talk about three of the things He wants and desires to have from us. First is our life. John 3:16 tells us that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. When we give God our life, He exchanges our life for His everlasting life. What a great exchange.
Next is our witness. Mark 16:15says “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” He wants us to be His witnesses, telling others how good He is. John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.”
Finally God wants our praise. He inhabits the praises of His people. He loves to have your praise and worship. He wants to hear from you how much you love Him and how much He means to you
