1 Kings 8:27-30
But will God indeed dwell upon the earth? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built. / Yet regard the prayer and plea of Your servant, O LORD my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant is praying before You today. / May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, ‘My Name shall be there,’ so that You may hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place. (cf Acts 7:48-50)
Acts 17:24-25
"The God who made the world and everything in it is The Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples made by human hands. Nor is He served by human hands, as if He needed anything, because He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else. From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands.
God intended that they would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. ‘For in Him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are His offspring.’ Therefore, being offspring of God, we should not think that The Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by man’s skill and imagination.
Although God overlooked the ignorance of earlier times, He now commands all people everywhere to repent. For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by The Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”
Romans 10:8-11
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming: that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
1 Corinthians 6:19
Do you not know that your body is the temple of The Holy Spirit Who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore glorify God with your body.
Jeremiah 31:33 tells us that God says He will put His Law in our minds and inscribe It on our hearts. And Ezekiel lets us know that God will remove the heart of stone (of unbelief) from us and replace it with a more fleshy (accommodating, moldable) heart. Ezekiel 11:18-20.
So, again, I must ask: Is God's Name, The Name Above All Names, written on your heart? As Jesus informed Nicodemus, "You must be born again. Born of water and of Spirit." Throughout the New Testament are jewels of wisdom to which we must adhere if we want to live a changed life, which starts with a change of heart and mind. A change which begins with having just enough faith to believe that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD. That He is The Way, The Life and The Truth personified.
Now is the time to repent of our wicked ways, ways in which God is not pleased, ways which dishonor God and take away from God. Today is your day of salvation. Please come to Jesus. Come and see Him, hear Him, believe Him and follow Him. Please come. We beg you to come now. Before it's too late.
