Listening to christian gospel music has changed my life. Whether it is praise and worship songs or traditional hymns, singing praises to my Heavenly Father changes my outlook on life. Singing the lyrics out loud moves my soul.
Last week’s blog, I listed a few reasons how listening to gospel music changed my life, here are a few others.
We are called to glorify the Lord
We are called to put off our old selves and do all things to glorify the Lord. We are called to live a life different than before, not presenting ourselves as an instrument for sin and unrighteousness.
Listening to gospel music reminds me of His everlasting love and how my Savior died for me.
Ephesians 4:22-24 …put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
Gospel music has wholesome lyrics for anyone to hear, especially kids
The Bible tells us to bring up our children in godliness. Unfortunately, the popular radio stations these days don’t do that. Children repeat what they hear, no matter what it is. So, choosing Gospel music will equip them with godly truths and songs. Listening to gospel music benefits everyone, it is also a great opportunity for ministry.
Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Deuteronomy 11:19 You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
The Bible tells us to!
It doesn’t get much clearer than the Lord’s Words. We are to praise the Lord using song and instruments
Psalm 30:4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
Psalm 150:1-5 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him according to his excellent greatness! Praise him with trumpet sound; praise him with lute and harp! Praise him with tambourine and dance; praise him with strings and pipe! Praise him with sounding cymbals; praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
I pray you. Understand the importance of listening to gospel music and encourage you to try Kingdom Citizens Radio.
