Isaac Watts wrote a hymn that says, “Love so amazing, so divine, demands my heart, my life, my all.” Now that God has made known the riches of His grace in the gospel, we are shown how to walk in a world of sin and tribulation. The Lord Jesus has shed His blood to redeem us; now what response can we give in return for such love? We can offer ourselves as a living sacrifice to God by seeking to serve Him in all we do. To know what is acceptable to God, we need to know His will as revealed in the Bible. Do we read the Scriptures daily? As we do, our minds will be renewed, and the will of God found out, and we will not be conformed to this world. It is true that we cannot go out of this world, but if we would please our Lord, we would abhor that which is evil and cleave to that which is good. As to our fellow-man, we are to be kind, not curse our persecutors, not seek vengeance, be honest, and try to live peaceably with all men. Remember how the Lord behaved towards those who hated Him. In doing as the Lord did in feeding the hungry and giving water to the thirsty, we would melt the heart of our enemy or “heap coals of fire on his head.”
