GOD IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM US

Acts 17.26-27

GOD IS NOT FAR AWAY FROM US

These verses answered very important question which people of Earth often ask one another, "Why GOD created us?" According to verse 27 the meaning of life on Earth has only one single purpose, "grope for Him and find Him." (verse 27. KSB). What it means?

It means that people shall search for GOD by studying Holy Scripture, know the fact that true living GOD exist, believe in Him, have faith in Him, trust in Him, and follow Him as He has expressed it in His Holy Scriptures, Laws and Statutes.
If so, keep Him and feel Him in your soul that is connected to Him, and as consequence of it, join Him in Eternity, which is was intended by GOD from the creation of Adam.

That is the goal and the target of our life on Earth and there is no another. From temporary earthly life mankind can enter the Everlasting Life without Everlasting GOD by joining together with Him with our eternal spirits and live with Him forever. So, we are no longer be anymore temporary offspring of the temporary physical mankind but be the Everlasting Spiritual offspring of Everlasting Holy Spirit of GOD (verse 28).

GOD is not far from us (verse 27), this is pure truth. The Lord GOD actually is everywhere, and He knows everything what is going on in the universe and on Earth and in our hearts, minds, and souls simultaneously, and He knows all our thoughts, hears all our words, and sees all our deeds, all at the same time.

How it can possibly be? GOD breathed His Part of His Energy of Life (spirit) into Adam's physical body when He created him. This Spiritual Part of GOD'S Everlasting Spirit is in us, and we call it soul or spirit. By this action GOD practically placed Himself into our physical body and because of it He can read our mind, hear our words, and see our deeds from the day we are born and to the last day of our life on Earth.

For this reason, it is said in verse 27, "He is not far from each one of us." Of course He is not far, He is in us! He is only far for those souls who do not accept Him, and they do not know that GOD is in them, for this reason they are unable find GOD and communicate with Him.

In other words, while the Living Energy of GOD make physical bodies of unbelievers alive and functional, on the other hand, Spiritually such bodies are dead because the soul of these physical bodies has not connection with the Spirit of GOD, and such people are no longer candidates for Eternal Life.

"GOD is not far from us" is similar and can be compared to all who caries GOD in their soul and who gathering in His name, live according to His Commandments and Statutes and call themselves Christians. "For, where two or three have gathered in My Name, there I am in their midst." (Matthew 18.20).

The fact that the church of GOD can be consist of two or more people no matter where they are gathering. Church of GOD is not actual physical building with its parishioners, but the church of GOD is the Spiritual Church consisted of Spiritually related people who gathering together only in the Name of GOD in order to worship Him, learn from Him, and obey Him.

People can be a thousand miles apart, but if they gathered in the Name of Christ, they are the true church of GOD, and on the personality and character of Peter the Lord GOD built it. (Matthew 16.18).
