How to Satisfy God
Are you familiar with the Rolling Stones’ 1965 hit song “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”? Songwriters Keith Richards and Mick Jagger poured forth how they couldn’t get no satisfaction. The words resonated with people in the sixties and probably do today. We may turn our feelings of not being satisfied with how our Heavenly Father must feel toward us. But the fact is, God is satisfied with believers – with those who have repented of their sins and confessed Jesus Christ as Lord. First John 2:2 explains, “”He Himself (Jesus) is the PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.” The word propitiation means satisfaction. This verse tells us that Jesus satisfied God on our behalf. He offered His perfect life as a substitute for ours. When God looks at us He is satisfied. That’s an incredible thought and reality. If we haven’t thanked Jesus lately, now would be a good time to do that.
Lord Jesus, thank You for being the satisfaction for the sins of all who trust in You.
“He Himself is the PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.” 1 John 2:2
