This week, John continues to use Psalm 119:57-61 to lay the foundation for a discussion of the Christian’s relationship to the law.
We heard last week about the foundational importance of having God as our portion. Today, we discuss 3 responses fueled by God as our portion:
- Love and gratitude that lead to obedience
- Dependence on God
- Determination to apply all that we find in His Word
