Supporting Scriptures

Isaiah 59:2  KJV  “But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.”

Hebrews 10:22  KJV    “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.”   

Psalm 145:18  KJV :  “The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.”

 

 

Devotional

Sin creates distance. Grace closes it.

Before Christ, humanity was separated from God—not geographically, but spiritually.

Bible Story: The Prodigal Son (Luke 15 KJV). The son moved far away physically, but the father’s heart remained open. When he returned, distance collapsed instantly.

The blood of Christ removes barriers no human effort can fix.

Counseling insight: Estrangement often grows slowly through silence and pride. But restoration begins with humility and initiative. God initiated reconciliation first.

You are not chasing God. He brought you near.

The greatest tragedy is not conflict between people. It is separation from Christ.

 

 

Reflection Question

Have you fully received that you are near—not distant—in Christ?

A CALL TO SALVATION:

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Romans 10:9-10⁹That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. ¹⁰For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

 John 3:5-6⁵Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. ⁶That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. ⁷
