Acts 17:27, “That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.”
What a precious truth... GOD IS NOT
FAR FROM EVERY ONE OF US! It is God Who keeps us breathing. Here is the full
passage of Scripture...
Acts 17:22-27, “Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.”
The religious men of Athens, Greece were worshipping their UNKNOWN GOD, exactly as do Freemasons with their, “THE GREAT ARCHITECT.” Masons claim that since the issue of God is very delicate and hardly anyone can agree upon WHO or WHAT God is, they simply created a mythical one-sized-fits-all god called “THE GREAT ARCHITECT.” As expected, Freemasons are strictly forbidden from praying in Jesus name at their lodge meetings. Instead they pray to “THE GREAT ARCHITECT” which includes the false gods of Allah, the New Age “God of forces” (Daniel 11:38) and Lucifer himself. May I say, Jesus Christ is my only God. Jesus alone do I worship. To worship Jesus Christ is to worship the Father, for He and the Father are one. Jesus came to earth, born of a virgin, as the manifestation of the Father (1st Timothy 3:16). Please note that if you are using a modern corrupted Bible that this passage of Scripture will be butchered to pieces. I only use and recommend the trustworthy King James Bible.
The true and living God of the Bible, and the God of true Israel (not the counterfeit nation of present-day Israel) revealed Himself to the world through the life, person, work and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are as close to God as you are to the Scriptures. No one is close to God Who is far from Jesus Christ or far from the Word of God. The way you get close to Jesus is by SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES. John 5:39-40, “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.” The Scriptures testify of Jesus!!! Amen!
Notice that Jesus said men “WILL NOT COME” to Him for life; the Lord didn't say YE CANNOT COME. Anyone, no matter how ungodly you may be, will be saved if you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, was buried and resurrected from the dead after three days (1st Corinthians 15:1-4), and you make that your only hope for eternal life. Unless you receive Christ's payment for your sins upon the cross, you will spend eternity in the fires of Hell (Revelation 20:15).
God is not far from anyone, for He made you and
keeps you alive. Jesus even encouraged us by telling us that God the Father
knows the exact number of hairs on our head. That means God keeps track of
everything about us 24 hours a day. Matthew 10:29-31, “Are not two
sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground
without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are
all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than
many sparrows.” If you feel like God is a million miles away, it is
only a feeling. Learn not to trust your feelings; but rather, the black and
white printed Words of the holy Bible. Your feelings change from day-to-day
with your moods, circumstances and health, but God's Words are UNCHANGING!!!
God's Omnipotent Power Keeps You Alive
Did you know that the human heart beats 100,000 times per day? Each and every day, even while you're sleeping, your heart beats faster than once per second. Do the math and that comes out to an astonishing 35,000,000 times per year that your heart beats! God is so amazing to make the human heart tough enough to handle that kind of wear and tear. In an average lifetime of 70-years-old, the human heart will beat an amazing 2,500,000,000 times!!! The human heart is a muscle about double the size of your fist. It's incredible when one ponders that the human heart will pump more than once a second from the day you are born until the day you die. And as we just learned, the average person's heart will pump blood 2.5 BILLION times over 70-years!!! God is incredible!
Every second of every day, there
are trillions of things going on around you that God makes happen. Did you
know that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand
on every beach on earth? Yet, as astonishing as that fact is, there are more
atoms in one grain of sand than there are stars in the universe.
There're More
Stars In The Universe Than Sand On Earth, But More Atoms In One
Grain Of Sand. God is “terwonderful.” That's the new word you
get when you combine the words TERRIFIC + WONDERFUL. God is
awesome!!!
The Presence Of The Indwelling Holy Spirit
All mankind belongs to God by creation. But wait, if you are saved (i.e., a born again Christian), then God's Spirit also lives inside your body (Romans 8:9). I marvel and relish the reality of the presence of God's Holy Spirit indwelling me. My heart is warmed when I ponder the truth of Christ in me, the hope of glory.
I love these Scriptures about the indwelling Holy Spirit. The closest that anyone can get to God is as a born-again, for the Godhead literally moves into your body, soul and spirit the very second that you are saved. ...
1st John 3:24, “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.”
1st John 4:13, “Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.”
The Bible teaches that God keeps us breathing...
Daniel 5:23, “But hast lifted up thyself against the LORD of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.”
