Serving God Quotes - Page 3

• True religion is when you serve God to get nothing else but more of God. Many people use religion as a way of getting something else from God they want-blessings, rewards, even escape from judgement. This is wearisome to us, and to God. But when God is His own reward, Christianity becomes thrilling. Sacrifice becomes joy.

  J. D. Greear

• Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God.

• The Hebrews have a saying that God is more delighted in adverbs than in nouns; it is not so much the matter that is done, but the matter how it is done, that God minds. Not how much, but how well! It is the well-doing that meets with a well-done. Let us therefore serve God, not nominally or verbally, but adverbially.

Then, when He shall take our health and we shall near our last day, our conscience will not reproach us for having misused it.
