Bible Verse of The Day – 12-7-23

James 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

Jesus Christ came to earth to lay down His life for us.

He came to demonstrate His Father’s love and the oneness they shared.

Today, as believers, this is what He wants most; for us to know Him and to walk in such love and oneness as He and His Father are one.

We cannot touch Him physically in person today. But by our spirit, we can communicate with Him. And He can touch us and change our hearts without even being physically present.

He will speak to us if we are willing to listen and allow Him to guide us by His spirit and through His word. The Bible teaches us to draw close to Him.

How?

Through cleansing and purifying our hearts and mind by His word.

It is our own fault if we do not know what is happening today in this world, and even in our own personal lives. He will teach us all things if we read His word, listen, and draw close.

We can’t blame Him for anything we don’t know.

It’s not always easy staying close to Him with so many distractions around us.

The atmosphere is  full of heaviness, stress and perversion. But He is faithful to draw near to us if we do our part by staying in His word making a sincere effort to draw near to Him.

This is a reminder today to draw close to the One who laid down His life for us. To continue such a oneness with Him and to show such love toward one another.

1 John 3:16 (NKJV) 16 By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

We praise You, Lord. Amen.
