BLESSING
Referring both to God and to man.  When God blesses, he bestows that efficacy which renders his blessing effectual.  His blessings are either temporal or spiritual, bodily or mental; but in every thing they really convey the good which they import, Nu 6:23-27.  The blessings of men to other men, unless they be inspired prophecies, as in Ge 32:32; De 33:1; 1:1-29, are only good wishes, personal or official, and as it were a peculiar kind of prayer to the Author of all good for the welfare of the subject of them.  Blessing, on the part of man towards God, is an act of thanks-giving for his mercies, Ps 103:1; or rather, for that special mercy which at the time occasions the act of blessing: as for food, for which thanks are rendered to God, or for any other good, Ps 116:13; 1Co 10:16.

LOVE

LOVE
GOD IS LOVE; AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE DWELLETH IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM, 1Jo 4:16.  Love is a chief attribute of Jehovah, the length and breadth and height and depth of which are beyond comprehension, for they are infinite, Eph 3:18,19.  Between the three Persons of the Godhead, love is unutterable full, perfect, and blissful; towards holy angels and Christians, God's love is an infinite fatherly complacency and affection; towards sinners, it is immeasurable compassion.  It is shown in all his works and ways, and dictated his holy law, but is most signally displayed in the gospel, Joh 3:16.  "Herein is love."

Holy love in man would make the whole heart and soul supremely delight in and obey God, and cordially and practically love all beings according to their character-the good with fellowship of soul, and the evil with a Christ-like benevolence.  Such a love would meet and fulfil all the ends of the law, Mt 22:37-40; Ro 13:8-10.  Without it, none can enter heaven; and as the affections of every unrenewed heart are all mixed with sin, being given to forbidden objects, or selfishly and unduly given to objects not forbidden, we must be "born again" in order to see God, Joh 3:3; 1Jo 4:7,19; 5:4.

Proverbs 1:8

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother

PSALMS 7:17

I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.(PSALMS 7:17)

PSALMS 6:2

Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed.(PSALMS 6:2)

PSALMS 1:1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful (Psalms 1:1). If you believe say "Amen"

No Reason to commit sin

There is no reason why we should not serve God, but we all reason to serve Him. According to the book of Genesis 3:1, the bible thought about the deceitful nature of satan. So are those who will likely want to deceive you with their subtlety. You may have been deceived to commit sin but there is no excuse for sin. Join me me same time tomorow
