James 4:8
Come Near to God
8Come near to God and he will come near to you.
Many think God hides from us or only shows Himself only ever so often, and that is only a very few times in our lives, if that...God is perfect, He wants us to be perfect (Matthew 5:48)...God is Holy, He wants us to be holy (1 Peter 1:16)...Only God is good (Luke 18:19)...Our sins make us fall away from Him...When we have a temptation and submit to it we fall away from Him...A busy life can make us drift from Him...God is not hiding, we are...The Father is perfect, holy and good...We are not...Jesus came to this world to save us, and not condemn us ( John 3:17)...Jesus died for our sins, to get us closer to the Father...The closer we get to Jesus the Son, the closer we get to the Father...
James tells us for us to come near to God and He will come near to us...
