Delighting in the Gospel

This final part in a four-part series on Paul's first sermon explores three conditions met by every church which delights in the Gospel. While there are many terrible consequences that follow despising the Gospel, there are many terrific consequences for delighting in the Gospel. The great consequence of believing is the change in your quality of life. It is eternal in its value. You are freed from legalism and sinful living. But this delight must give way to the glory of God. You brought nothing to the table. Deflect all praise and glory to Him today. Immerse yourself in His Word and consider it more necessary than physical food! Be reverent and grateful. Hear the Word of God by receiving it and doing it. Open up your mouth wide and let God fill it (see Psalm 81.10). Let each Sunday bring you into conformity with Christ. Allow your Savior to transform you and lift you to higher ground through the faithful preaching of your pastor! Don’t defend yourself; defend the glory of God and delight in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
