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.
Let your forbearing spirit be evident to all; the Lord is near.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have come to be near through the blood of the 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.

But if the God-part of the Christ was begotten in the womb of the virgin Mary, then He is not eternally preexistent; and in that event Christ could not be God the Son, one of the three persons of the Trinity. Notice the precision in Isaiah 9:6—"unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given." Jehovah the Son was given, not born. Notice further that the context is about the Incarnation, not the Son’s eternal preexistence. But in any case, why follow seven manuscripts of demonstrably inferior quality against 1,700 better ones? The original and therefore true reading is certainly "the only begotten Son". who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him. shows us who the Father really is. As Jesus said to Philip, "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).
Heal the sick therein and say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
