Walk with the Love of God
Walk with the Love of God Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille You know, for those of you when you got saved and knew it, most of us…some of us didn’t know it. I never knew it. I never remembered the day when I wasn’t a Christian. But for some of you who do remember the day when you first accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I’m sure that that day was real exciting, invigorating, illuminating and all the other adjectives you can think of. But I’ve learned through the years in the ministry that, for the most part, people who are saved have just been left dangling or hanging in air after they’ve saved. They bring them to the altar or whatever you call it, and get them born again of God’s spirit. And then after that they give them a Gospel of John, Old Testament and all that stuff. And then they say, well, now God bless you, go out and live it. Man, if you did that to a newborn baby it’d die within two weeks time; and that’s usually what happens. But because of the immensity and the greatness of the new birth, Christ in you the hope of glory, some of that birth many times lives on for a year, a year-and-a-half or two years if it has no nurture, no feeding of the greatness and the direction of God’s Word. And then it’s still the enthusiasm, the great dynamic of the Word disappears and the light disappears, and they go back to what I call an abnormal normalcy of the church and the life that, you know, you’re just a part of it. It might as well be a club. Now, most people hope, after they’re born again, that everything will just turn out all right. They now have eternal life, we know they’re going to be in heaven, so what difference does it make if they have an H of a time getting there? All the problems, all the difficulties. If they never get a prayer answered, so what? They ought to, but there must be something wrong with their life. But we know one thing is sure, they’re going to be in heaven. What a miserable Christianity. That’s right. Many of us ha
From this work
what in the H you in here late for? Get in that seat. Where have you been? What have you been doing?” Love of God in the renewed mind reaches in daddy’s cookie jar, why is he late? Oh, he’s late because he forgot to get his shoes out on time and his clothes laid out. That’s no reason for being late. But love of God in the renewed mind also has another way of moving. Oh yeah. Somebody just cut their finger very severely, bleeding like crazy, and he has been over there ministering to them, taking care of them. What would the love of God in the renewed mind do? Thank God that he’s late in here but took care of God’s people out there. Right? Boy, you’re not kidding, see? Unless you know all the facts concerning a case, it’s many times very easy to be critical of someone else and say, look, you should have done so and so. But you find out, when you get down to the depth of it, they were endea
