Do you know what God likes? He likes holiness. He likes good things to be called good, bad things to be called bad, and everything to be exactly right. He does not like things to be messed up or imperfect.

When God spoke from the cloud and told people that Jesus was his chosen Son, he meant for you to understand that Jesus was perfect. Jesus always distinguished properly between right and wrong, good and bad. More than that, he always did the right thing and never did the wrong thing. He had perfect holiness and righteousness.

That’s one good reason to listen to Jesus. He will always tell you the right thing, never the wrong thing, and because he knows you even better than you know yourself, he will tell you about the right thing at just the right time. The Bible is the place to find out those good and right things.

Do you know what God likes? He likes you to be connected to Jesus by believing his words in the Bible. Don’t be afraid to be that close to Jesus. When you are connected to him, you have the gift of his perfect righteousness, and God will treat you as his child.

Prayer:
Lord, open my ears to the words of your Son, Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
