WHEN GOD DRAWS NEAR

   God loves us now and He wants to love us more. 
   The desire of God's heart is that we will love Him, as He loves us, and that we also will love others, just as He also loves others.
   But if people do not desire God, then God will leave those people alone.  He will grant unto them the desires of their own hearts, and He will write them out of His will and out of their portion in heaven.
   If people do not desire God in this world, neither would they desire God in heaven.  For if God is a stranger to them now, He would also be a stranger to them in heaven. 
   Heaven is not a place from the imaginations of people; heaven is the abode of God.
   God is living.  He is not an idol, nor an image, in the imaginations of people. 
   Neither is God whatever people imagine Him to be, nor does He do as people imagine Him to do.
   As living, God has a personality:  He sees, He hears, He feels. 
   God has a heart, and His heart is for people and nothing else. 
   God also has power.  He has the power to create, and He also has the power to destroy. 
   Above all else that God is, His heart's desire is that people will know His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. 
   Therefore the name of Jesus is known by more people, in more nations, and in more languages than the name of any person in world history.  This is not an accident, nor a coincidence, for this is the name that God wants people to know more than any other name, and God has been working for thousands of years through people to make this name known in every household upon the earth.
   Even Pontius Pilate said,
      What shall I do then with Jesus, which is called Christ.  (Matthew 27: 22)
   When God draws near, this is the question that every person must answer. 
      For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.   (1 Timothy 2: 5-6)
