Behold, I stand at the door, and knock if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Jesus Christ. John 1:17

I Love the LORD Because He Heard My Cry.

Psalm 116 is a personal testimony of love toward the LORD because He hears prayer and delivers from death and distress. The psalmist recounts being surrounded by sorrow, calling upon the name of the LORD, and experiencing God’s gracious rescue. It emphasizes that the LORD is merciful, righteous, and attentive to the simple-hearted. The chapter moves from desperation to gratitude, expressing a desire to walk before the LORD and to offer thanksgiving. It teaches that salvation produces devotion, obedience, and a life of grateful worship.

Psalms 116:1 – 116:19

  1 I love the Lord, because he hath heard my voice [and] my supplications.
  2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon [him] as long as I live.
  3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
  4 Then called I upon the name of the Lord; O Lord, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
  5 Gracious [is] the Lord, and righteous; yea, our God [is] merciful.
  6 The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
  7 Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
  8 For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, [and] my feet from falling.
  9 I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
  10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
  11 I said in my haste, All men [are] liars.
  12 What shall I render unto the Lord [for] all his benefits toward me?
  13 I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord.
  14 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people.
  15 Precious in the sight of the Lord [is] the death of his saints.
  16 O Lord, truly I [am] thy servant; I [am] thy servant, [and] the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.
  17 I will offer to thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord.
  18 I will pay my vows unto the Lord now in the presence of all his people,
  19 In the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe…

In one God, eternally existent in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;

In the absolute deity and full humanity of our Lord Jesus Christ, God the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His substitutionary and atoning death for all through His shed blood, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and His personal return in power and glory to judge the living and the dead;

In the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is empowered to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ;

In the divine inspiration of all 66 books of the Old and New Testaments as originally given, guaranteeing their infallibility, entire trustworthiness, and supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct;

That all people are sinners and cannot save themselves. Salvation is received as a free gift of God’s grace, apart from works, through repentance and personal faith in the redemptive work of Christ and the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit;

In the bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the eternal blessedness of the saved, and the eternal punishment of the lost;

In the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ who are thus members of His Body, the Church, whose work is the worship of God, perfecting the saints, and evangelization of the world.
