This is precisely why Jesus kicked the bucket. The messenger Peter says, "Christ languished once over sins, the exemplary for the wicked, that he may convey us to God" (1 Peter 3:18). To God. The Person. What makes interminable life alluring isn't only that it keeps going forever, however that it is knowing and getting a charge out of a boundlessly fulfilling Person. Furthermore, he is additionally a Person who, in his human instinct, kicked the bucket with the goal that he could be known and appreciated.

In any case, how would we come to know the Person? We come to know him by his activities, his thoughts uncovered in his oath — things that he has made as pointers and previews of himself.

"The first and most prominent precept is that we adore God. What's more, the embodiment of cherishing God is that we get a kick out of God."

"In this the affection for God was made show among us, that God sent his exclusive Son into the world, with the goal that we may survive him" (1 John 4:9). We know the adoration for the Person by the activity of the Person. We know the energy of the Person by the activity of his formation of the universe (Romans 1:18– 20). We know the knowledge of the Person by his intentional fortune ever (Romans 11:33– 36). We know the equity and honesty of the Person by the discipline of wrongdoing in the passing of Jesus (Romans 3:24– 26). We know the loyalty of the Person by the keeping of his guarantees (2 Corinthians 1:20). We know the sympathy and tolerance of the Person since we know Jesus Christ who stated, "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).

So as you contemplate the ideal work of your God, let Scripture constrain you to appreciate the Person:

Celebrate in the Lord dependably. (Philippians 4:4)

Be happy in the Lord. (Song 32:11)

In your quality there is totality of delight.

The Lord is my picked divide and my container.

As a deer pants for streaming streams, so pants my spirit for you, O God. My spirit craves God, for the living God.

I extend my hands to you; my spirit craves you like a dry land.

What's more, the same is valid with things and human encounters. God offers them to us to uncover a greater amount of his character, substance, and amazing worth.

"Euphoria isn't discretionary. Enjoyment isn't fringe. Fulfillment isn't auxiliary."

Extraordinary compared to other pointers and tastes of the experience of getting a charge out of God as a Person is the satisfaction in the human people we know, not only their endowments.

And after that let all the happiness regarding every one of those people for each one of those individual excellencies, uplifted to flawlessness, give you some trace of what it will resemble to appreciate God completely.

Joy Is Our Duty

The first and most prominent charge is that we cherish God. Also, the pith of cherishing God is that we get a kick out of God — that we appreciate God, that we observe God to be our everything fulfilling treasure, our gold.

Cherishing God isn't first working for God. Jesus stated, "On the off chance that you adore me, you will keep my precepts" (John 14:15). He didn't state, "Cherishing me is keeping my decrees." He stated, "On the off chance that you adore me, you will keep my precepts." Love is first. Precept keeping takes after. Doing is natural product. Adoring is root. This is the reason Jesus put the heart first in this most elevated obligation: "You should love the Lord your God with everything that is in you." The heart isn't the organ of execution. It is the organ of inclination. It's not the organ of improving the situation God. It's the organ of having a great time God. Hence, the colossal and first instruction is: Delight yourself in the Lord!

Satisfaction in God is our first commitment and getting a kick out of God is our most astounding obligation. The second most prominent charge — to love individuals — is the flood of the initial (2 Corinthians 8:1– 2). Bliss in God is the pith of cherishing God with everything that is in you, soul, brain, and quality; and delight in God is simply the wellspring of adoring your neighbor as yourself.

"Getting a charge out of God is our first and most noteworthy obligation."

God has made it plain to us that we exist to amplify his exceptional excellence and worth. "Regardless of whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the wonderfulness of God" (1 Corinthians 10:31). Yet, with a specific end goal to extol God from your heart, you should thoroughly enjoy him to the exclusion of everything else. Bliss isn't discretionary. Enjoyment isn't fringe. Fulfillment isn't optional. They are the base of all Christ-magnifying love for individuals, and all Christ-lifting up love of God.

Appreciating God is our first and most prominent obligation.
