Church! Draw Near to God and He will Draw Near to You

                                                             


                                              

Church!

"Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you." - James 4:8 KJV

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name." - Psalm 100:4 KJV

"And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding." - Jeremiah 3:15 KJV

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting [preparing fully, equipping] of the saints [God’s people], for the work of the ministry, for the edifying [building up, promoting growth] of the body of Christ [the church]:" - Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV

At church we have the opportunity to hear the gospel.

 "How that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" - 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV

At church we have the opportunity to obey the gospel.

"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

“For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV

This is the time to draw close to God, get in church, and stay in church.

"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

“And let us consider one another [think of ways] to provoke [to motivate one another] unto love and to good works [good deeds]:

"Not forsaking [not giving up] the assembling [meeting] of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting [encouraging] one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day [of His return] approaching." - Hebrews 10:23-25 KJV

Keep the faith. For God is faithful. Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you!
