1 | How close can we get to God? | Is 62:5 | melchizedekau | 4311 | ||
dear Nolan i believe that we can only get as close to God as our calling requires. We are bought with a price.What price will you pay? if we marry then we have trouble in the flesh.But what have you been called to do? i feel obedience is better than sacrifice.do what you are called to do and let Jesus say to you, Good and faithful servant.Look at moses and the prophets etc.all their callings were different and so were their encounters with the Lord.Just remember all your desires were placed within you by God to fullfil your destiny in Him.So we cannot glory in anything at all, except Jesus. bless you.YIC | ||||||
2 | How close can we get to God? | Is 62:5 | Makarios | 4318 | ||
Thank you melchizedekau! Great reply! Yes, we must 'go all out' to obey God and to accomplish the calling that He has set out for us. But I believe that the Lord gives us each a calling in His own way and not out of the desires of our hearts. If this was so, then it would open us up to all kinds of sinful tendencies which are against the will of God and can only put us at a disadvantage of accomplishing our calling in the Lord Jesus. Yes, obedience is above sacrifice! But we must also lay off everything that hinders us in our calling and being one with the Lord Jesus, and by fulfilling this calling (and being obedient to Him) can we become one with Him as Jesus is One with the Father, thereby achieving true intimacy with God! For we cannot please Him without having faith that He does indeed exist, and it is because of this faith that we have that helps to empower us to achieve the will of God in our lives. In this way, we can throw off everything that hinders us as we 'recklessly abandon' ourselves to God. | ||||||
