Daily Devotion 1 September 2015 1 Corinthians 16:22 Hellish sin! Stupendous wickedness! Monstrous impiety!

September 1, 2015 By Tom Stearns Leave a Comment

Good morning,

The questions asked below will give you a good indication whether you love Jesus or not.

Hellish sin! Stupendous wickedness! Monstrous impiety!

(Thomas Doolittle, “Motives to Love Jesus!“)

What! Not love the Lord? Hellish sin!
What! Not love Jesus? Stupendous wickedness!
What! Not love Christ? Monstrous impiety!
What name shall we call such a person by–a man or beast?
One that does not love the Lord Jesus Christ–is he a man or a devil?

Can you love sin–and not Jesus?
Can you love the world–and not Jesus?
What cursed wickedness!
This is . . .
the amazement of the earth,
the astonishment of angels,
and the joy of devils!

The earth groans to bear such as do not love Jesus.
The sun is grieved to give them light.
The air laments its vapors to be sucked into such filthy bodies, wherein are more filthy souls!

“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed!” 1 Corinthians 16:22

How did you answer the questions? Who do you love most, Jesus or the world?
