Sermon: WHO ARE THEY THAT LOVE GOD: 4 CHARACTERISTICS
Characteristic #1 – They are those who Yield to the transforming Love of God.
James 1:12
v.12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
Characteristic #2 – They are those who Know the truth about Him
James 1:13-15
v.13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.
v.14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.
v.15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
Characteristic #3 – They are those who Know the truth about themselves
James 1:13-15 (see above)
Characteristic #4 – They are those who Stay with the Word of God
James 1:16-18
v.16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
v.17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
v.18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures.
