Scripture/Text: Psalm 119:1-10; In this sermon, we explore Psalm 119, focusing on verses 2 and 10, to understand the centrality of God's Word in the life of believers. The main point of this message is to seek and savor God through obedience to His Word, finding true blessedness in His presence. Psalm 119 clearly emphasizes that obedience to God's Word is not a means to earn salvation but a pathway to experiencing the fullness of joy and blessedness in God Himself. The sermon highlights that salvation is not just about being saved from sin but being saved for God, to know, love, and enjoy Him forever. Therefore, obedience to God's Word is a gracious gift that draws us closer to God, allowing us to experience the joy and fulfillment found only in Him. Through Christ, who is the perfect embodiment of obedience, we are called to follow Him in a life of self-giving love and obedience, seeking God as our ultimate good and the fulfillment of our deepest desires.
