Draw Near To God And He Will Draw Near To You

 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you - James 4:8.

          God has opened up the new and living way to enter His presence any time through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the house of God, Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water - Hebrews 10:19-22.      

             God is able to save all those who draw near to Him. He is able to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them - Hebrews 7:25. Let us draw near to God with confidence in time of need to receive His mercy and grace. Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need - Hebrews 4:16.

              Our God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him and so let us draw near to Him with faith. Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who draws near to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him - Hebrews 11:6. He will draw near to us as we draw near to Him. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon - Isaiah 55:6-7.

                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for giving us the awesome privilege to draw close to You. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
