From Pr. Hendry’s sermon:

We have all felt it in our hearts –
that it is useless to serve God.
The LORD makes a note of those
who fear Him and esteem His name.
He calls them His Treasured Posession.
God acted for us greatly
in not sparing His own Son.
He makes us righteous by His Holy Spirit
when we do not see it.
So we should continue to serve Him,
remembering
that we were bought with a price.
