What Does God Expect?

The number of voices describing God seems endless.

As a matter of fact, in Matthew 24:4-5 Jesus warns about this saying, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

Grace, works, sin, redemption, salvation, righteousness, healing, favour, judgement, eternity, forgiveness, trials, love… Many questions, many opinions, but where is the truth? What does God think, what does God expect?

Praying to the Father in John 17, Jesus said, Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John1:14 says, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

In John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

So, what is the answer?

Spend time with God, spend time in his Word. Ask, seek, knock. Jesus said, For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Lord, open our eyes that we may see, open our ears that we may hear, and soften our hearts that we may receive the truth of your word.
