Proximidade
Deus é próximo dos que o buscam. Ele não é um Deus distante, mas presente, íntimo e acessível a todo o que o invoca com sinceridade de coração.
Buscar a presença de Deus
A Bíblia nos exorta a buscar a face do Senhor continuamente. Quem se aproxima dele encontra plenitude de alegria e delícias perpétuas.
Deus está perto
O Senhor está perto dos que o invocam, dos quebrantados de coração e dos que clamam por socorro. Sua presença nos sustenta.
5 Do not worry about anything. Talk to God about everything. Thank him for what you have. Ask him for what you need.
13 At one time you were far away, but now you have been brought near to God by the blood death of Jesus Christ.
A presença que nunca abandona
Deus promete nunca nos deixar. Ele permanece fiel, está conosco em todo tempo e envia o Espírito para habitar em nossos corações.
18 I will not leave you without someone to help you. And I myself will come back to you.
16 The Lord gives peace. May he give his peace to you at all times in every way. May the Lord be with you all.
11 Now, my brothers, in closing I say, Goodbye. Be what you should be. Listen to what I say. Be good to each other. Agree with one another. Live in peace with one another. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you.
13 He has given us of his own Spirit. That is how we know that we are in him and he is in us.
18 No one has ever seen God. But his only Son is very near to his Fathers heart. He has told us plainly about God.
