Right Relationship with God

Psalm 51:18-19

“18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure; rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, 19 then you will delight in right sacrifices, in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings; then bulls will be offered on your altar.”

We are in a right relationship with God only when we recognize our sins and sincerely ask for forgiveness.  Only then will the sacrifices that we make be recognized as done in faith.

As Christians, our sacrifices are made in the form of giving our money, our time, our talents, our service and our witness to the church.  These mean nothing if they are given in a spirit of pride, self, anger, greed, etc.,.

Right sacrifices can be given only in a spirit of faith and only when we are in a right relationship with God.

Stay in a right relationship with God.

And delight in right sacrifices.

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
