The Father Seeks True Worshippers

Main Text: Genesis 6:9-22

Memory Verse: John 4: 23

Introduction

God is looking for those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. One would naturally think that, surrounded with such millions of angelic creatures, so much more fit to praise Him, God would not think of looking about on Earth to be satisfied with what imperfect worship we could render to Him. Yet, He just turns His back on it all, as it were, and searches out among us, a soul here on Earth that will worship Him in sincerity. This text should encourage us to worship in spirit and in truth since that act will cause God to notice us. Certainly, when the Father finds a true worshipper, He would shower His love and grace upon him/her.

Conclusion
According to 2 Chronicles 16:9a, ‘the eyes of the LORD search the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.' God is seeking true worshippers. For the Bible to state that Noah was blameless among the people of his time, it indicates that he was a true worshipper. Thus, God revealed Himself to Him, established His covenant with him and showed him what to do in the days of adversity. Though the task was difficult, Noah did everything God commanded him.  True worshippers are righteous, blameless and walk with God.
