The weekend message for the beloved children of God is - Draw Nearer!

Good morning,

The weekend message for the beloved children of God is - Draw Nearer!

 

The bible is very clear, when you draw nearer to God, he will draw nearer to you. God came even nearer to man in the person of His Son Jesus Christ. It is an intimate love relationship with God, he dwells within us. Read James 4:7-9, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. No one has to go to hell, we have a choice. What can keep us from the presence of God?  Jesus clearly states that hell was not originally intended to be the abode of humans. Jesus died for all those who would place their trust in Him and promises to deliver them from the lake of fire. God never puts anyone into hell, they put themselves there by their rejection of God’s One and Only Son Jesus. God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, and He most certainly doesn’t want anyone to perish. Read 2 Peter 3:8-10, But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. When God delivered his people from slavery in Egypt, he brought them through the sea, and finally to Mount Sinai where he made a covenant with them and gave them a new way of life. Read Psalm 145:17-19,The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. Heavenly Father, we thank you today for loving us. We thank you for your One and Only Son Jesus, who freed us from sin, by His blood. For, He is the only way and only one who can bring us back to you Lord. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
