Awakened to Deliver — The Presence and Reality of God

Week 33 — The Nearness of God Day 3 – Draw Near to God

⸻

Episode Highlights

• Through Jesus Christ, the way to the Father has already been opened; drawing near is a response to grace, not an attempt to earn acceptance.

• Biblical nearness involves humility, submission, repentance, sincere faith, and a willingness to obey God.

• James connects drawing near to God with submitting to Him, resisting the devil, cleansing our actions, and purifying divided hearts.

• Believers can approach God boldly because Jesus is our great High Priest and His blood has opened a new and living way.

• Conviction should not drive believers into hiding but toward repentance, mercy, and restored fellowship with God.
