Introduction: Our God is a GREAT God! He is worthy of worship!! The favorite king of Israel, David, understood the might and power of our God. No doubt, he learned the importance of having a personal devotion with his Creator.In turn, he writes from the overflow of joy and blessings from knowing God. Stop and reflect on the reasons for having a “love” relationship with Jesus Christ.

1. Because Jesus Christ is the God of of our CREATION!

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.” (Psa 19:1,2)

How can every human being on the face of the earth – even in the remotest places in the jungles where there are no BIBLES – know there is a GOD? Because of our Lord’s CREATION, man is without excuse. He can look into the sky by day or night and see the sun, stars and moon and know that it had to get here somehow.

Paul writes in Rom 1:21,22 the following:

“For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.”

The alternative to God ‘s CREATION is EVOLUTION. The “monkey mythology” does not hold water when tested; i.e. transitional fossils, etc. Even from a scientific perspective, the overwhelming evidence points to a DESIGNER CREATOR; i.e. earth’s magnetic field, specimens from the moon, both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Bottom line:
The heavens declare the glory of God!

2. Because Jesus Christ is the God of written REVELATION!

“The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
8The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
10More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” (Psa 19:7- 10)

Jeremiah says the Word of God is like a hammer that breaks! It’s like a fire shut up in our bones! Paul chimes in and says the Word of God is like a sharp two-edged sword. It is quick and powerful…meaning it is ALIVE! Therefore, we should LEARN it, LOVE it, and LIVE it!

3. Finally, Because Jesus Christ is the God who leads us to CHRISTian MEDITATION!

“14Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.” (Psa 19:14)

Having clean hands and a pure heart is what our Lord desires of us. While the Word of God transforms our thinking, the Blood of Jesus cleanses our soul, and the Holy Spirit fills our lives.
