Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:8, ESV
God is always near (omnipresent). Yet, we are more aware when we diligently seek His face through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship with other Christians.
And only by Him are we made clean and can we think rightly.
And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:3, ESV
The Lord draws all peoples to Himself. We are all made in the image of God, so we all must share the gospel with all people. As it says, one day every knee will bow to Jesus.
May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
2 Thessalonians 3:5, ESV
We come to Christ because the Holy Spirit draws us to Him.
Listen to the Spirit. Trust Christ in all things.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7, ESV
It is especially hard for the devil to attack you if you remain close to God.
Read your Bible, live with a church family, and pray.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:8, NASB
When we submit to God, we are drawn closer to Him, and we continue drawing near to Him through prayer, reading Scripture, meeting with other Christians, and serving others.
And we will see our character change in the process.
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:7, ESV
It is impossible to combat and defeat Satan apart from God. Continually drawing near to God is from where any power in our life comes.
