" Bless the Lord , O my soul : and all that is within me , bless his holy name . Bless the Lord , O my soul , and forget not all his benefits: " There are a lot of benefits in serving Jesus ! Christians should be a happy people , who can praise God passionately for the benefits God has so richly given . Praise Jesus today for His wonderful benefits !

Christians have access to a free health plan . James 5 : 14 - 15 says : " Is any sick among you ? Let him call for the elders of the church ; and let them pray over him , anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord : And the prayer of faith shall save the sick , and the Lord shall raise him up ; and if he have committed sins , they shall be forgiven him . " What a wonderful benefit of serving the Lord ! Have you thanked Him today for His benefits ? Praise His sweet name !

There is no place for unemployment in Jesus’ kingdom . Ephesians 2 : 10 says : " For we are his workmanship , created in Christ Jesus unto good works , which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them ." Every child of Jesus is special to him , and He has given them an important job to do . It’s another benefit of serving the Lord ! Thank God for the benefits !

There is just no way I can mention all the benefits of serving the Lord . My life is so blessed because of what Jesus did for me . I was on the wrong road and Jesus put me on the right road of faith . I could never thank Him enough for His benefits . If you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ don’t you want to experience His benefits ? The greatest benefit from God is to know the forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ . Romans 10 : 9 says : " That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus , and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead , thou shalt be saved . " You can start receiving the benefits of serving the Lord today !
