How is your appetite?
Text: Matthew 5:6 Blessed
are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.
1.) Do you have an appetite
for God’s Holy Word?
* 1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire
the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
* 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
* 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for
reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God
may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
2.) Do you have an
appetite for destruction?
*Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the
strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that
leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there
be that find it.
*John 3:36 He
that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the
Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
*Revelation 20:10-15 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and
brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be
tormented day and night for ever and ever. And I saw a great white throne, and
him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and
there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand
before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the
book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead
which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:
and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell
were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was
not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
3.) Do you have an appetite for heaven?
John 14:1-6 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe
also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare
a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I
am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can
we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Conclusion: Again, How is
your appetite?
