We don’t like to admit this…but we are needy. We are a needy people. There are four great needs for mankind. They are forgiveness, truth, love, and strength. In addition, we each have physical, emotional and spiritual needs. The richest people typically have no problems with physical needs. They’re physical needs are often met by their wealth. However, they like us often have emotional and spiritual needs that can’t be met by wealth. We all need things money cannot buy. We all need acceptance, approval, appreciation, love and assurance. We all need meaning and satisfaction in life. Family and friends can help fill our emotional needs, but only God can meet our spiritual needs. Salvation provides whatever we need to be whole. The Gospel brings cleansing and forgiveness…the Gospel brings reconciliation and deliverance…the Gospel brings power and truth…and the Gospel brings assurance, security and hope. God fulfills and satisfies all our needs…physical, emotional, and spiritual. In 2 Corinthians 9:8, Paul writes
“God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”
God will meet our needs.
