GETTING CLOSER TO GOD? Part Two


GETTING CLOSER TO GOD? Part Two.
Friday, April 3, 2020

… now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility … [MKJV Ephesians chapter 2]

  Christians can get no closer to God than when they’re born-again when they believe Jesus’ life-changing redemption. (Jn.3:3) (Nor can they get any farther from condemnation! John 3:18)
  How close is the truth described in 1Corinthians 15:22 and Colossians 1:27? Christ in us, we in Him!
  Romans 6:5 explains that we are “united with Christ” in His death and resurrection. How can any feeling make us closer than this?
  1Corinthians 6:17 tells us that it is impossible to get any closer, for we in fact are “one spirit with Him”.
  I urge you my dear fellow saints, please leave off wasteful efforts to draw closer to God. Instead, please live in our closeness with Him.
