12/20/21 CLOSENESS TO GOD IS OUR CHOICE
God will be as close as we want Him to be, as close as we allow Him to be. We have the choice to draw near to God, If we draw near to God, He will draw near to us. God initiates the relationship, He enables us to respond to His offers and He responds to our willingness to accept His grace.
James 4:7-10
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
God gave His Son to bring salvation to all men.
God is not a respecter of persons.
God loves sinners (all sinners), while they are sinners and Christ died
for all sinners, regardless of how they would respond to Christ and His
salvation.
God saves whosoever will call on Him in faith.
