TOPIC: HOW FAR AWAY IS GOD?
TEXT: HEBREW 10:22
” let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”
God is as close to us as our condition of heart????
We are as close to God as our fear of Him.
1 Samuel 12:18
“So Samuel called to the LORD [in prayer], and He sent thunder and rain that day; and all the people greatly feared the LORD .”
Moses told them to “fear not” (Exodus 20:20), but “the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was” (Exodus 20:21). The children of Israel had heard the voice of the Lord and were afraid they would be consumed by fire if they heard more.
If we are close enough, we will experience His fear.
Psalm 99:6
???? Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And ???? Samuel was among those who called upon His name; They called upon the LORD, and He answered them.
These 2 figures were examples of those who call on Him. They had the Spirit of The fear of The LORD.
The Spirit of The fear of The LORD is The Spirit of HOLINESS
Jesus said, Luke 12:5
“But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, ???? I tell you, fear him!”
