PSALM 145:18
The LORD Is Near to all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth.
In the Bible Emerald green is used to describe the rainbow around God's throne. It indicates a deeper place of worship, a closer connectiveness to our God, our Creator.
Beryl, or a lighter shade of green, is indicative of new growth, new life; specifically, new life in Christ, through our belief on Him as Savior and Redeemer. It is through our faith in Christ, living in Him and He living in us, that makes it possible for us to draw close to God, Who, as He proclaims in this verse, Is Near to all of us who call upon Him; and not just so, but all who call on Him in truth, which means to call on Him faithfully and in faithfulness.
The vines in this picture remind us that He is the Vine and we are the branches. Through His blood and our faith in His sacrifice and His resurrection, we are now in Him and He is in us.
The old life we lived before we came to saving grace through Christ's atonement is dead on the cross.
The new life we live after receiving God's grace takes us out of the grave and into the life of ministry which God has prepared for us.
God Is Near. He is just a breath away.
