1 | A promise or a biblical principle | James 4:8 | dsmit | 133723 | ||
Hi Hersch, James 4:8 Says, "Draw near to God and He will draw near to you" the context of drawing near to God James does not worry about intellectual analytical categories...he tells us to be humble, submit to God, stay away from sin, and purify our hearts. So if the goal of studying to "draw near to God" then analyzing the method used to study is probably not terribly useful...God sees our efforts and our hearts! It is probably far more useful to make sure that our hearts are right before God before we study and then leave the worrying about the details to the Pharisees! As James says, "But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE." Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. (James 4:6-8 NASB) Be Good Dave |
