Psa 100:1, …MAKE A JOYFUL SHOUT TO THE LORD, ALL YOU LANDS!
For those that actually read this book of hope know there is a reason for joy, OUR DEBT HAS BEEN PAID IN FULL! WE ARE NO LONGER SLAVES TO SIN, BUT ARE CHILDREN OF GOD! EVEN THE ANGELS SING FOR JOY WHEN ONE COMES TO FAITH IN THE LIVING GOD!
Luk 15:7, I SAY TO YOU THAT LIKEWISE THERE WILL BE MORE JOY IN HEAVEN OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.
Psa 100:2, SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS; Come before HIS presence with singing.
Many, if not most, people think serving the LORD is a burden, “I HAVE TO SERVE”! YET, our LORD JESUS came here to serve, not to be served! What a great example we have in HIM!
Heb 12:2, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, WHO FOR THE JOY THAT WAS SET BEFORE HIM ENDURED THE CROSS, DESPISING THE SHAME, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The cross wasn’t joyful for HIM, BUT HE COULD SEE PAST THE HORRORS OF THE CROSS AND SEE THE FRUIT OF IT!
Dan 9:26, … MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF;
HE DID IT FOR YOU!
1Sa 12:24, ONLY FEAR THE LORD, AND SERVE HIM IN TRUTH WITH ALL YOUR HEART; FOR CONSIDER WHAT GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE FOR YOU.
Psa 100:4, ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. BE THANKFUL TO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME.
Because of what HE did for us, we are able to enter HIS gates and dwell with the living GOD! BE GREATFUL, SING FOR JOY THAT HE ALLOWS HEATHENS LIKE US INTO HIS REST!
Psa 100:5, FOR THE LORD IS GOOD; HIS MERCY IS EVERLASTING, AND HIS TRUTH ENDURES TO ALL GENERATIONS.
