Draw near to God
In the book of Hebrews we read,
"...let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:22,23.
Here is a truth from the book of Hebrews. We as believers in Christ Jesus need to “draw near to God with a sincere heart full of faith”.
God knows our hearts. He knows how sincere we are when we worship Him. Thus we need to look into our own heart and ask ourselves “how sincere am I when it comes to worshipping God?”
Is my worship truly sincere or am I simply going through the motions? Intellectually acknowledging God. While not worshipping Him with all my heart and soul.
In the book of Deuteronomy we read,
"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:5.
Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:5 when asked,
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment." Matthew 22:36,37,38.
So my question to your dear reader is,
Do you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind?
Please think about it.
