It Pays to Love God

It Pays to Love God

(From Focus on the Bible)

There are many uplifting verses in the Bible. They always help to establish eternal optimism in the hearts of all believers; even in the midst of the worst of times. 

But one such verse seems to stand out above all the rest. 

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Herein we are informed that ALL THINGS in the life of a Christian; even the bad things, shall be managed by God to our eventual betterment. 

It truly does pay to Love God, and humbly serve him in whatever our capacity of purpose in life might be. 

And when we Love God, we also find not only a purpose, but we also find fulfillment, joy, hope, comfort, guidance, contentment, companionship, and Love!

Just think about this: those people that do not love God, who mock him, who reject him, ignore him and curse him; can never know anything of the wonderful things that come from loving God! 

And NO THINGS will work to their good in the hereafter!

Proverbs 8:35-36 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. 36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death. 

So, while the world at large hates God and hates his Son, Jesus; and thereby hates us; take courage in the promise of Romans 8:28. “It pays big dividends in eternity when you love God and serve under his purpose!”

Yes; It really does pay to Love God!
