And he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel are committing here, to drive me far from my sanctuary?”
Ezekiel 8:6
The Bible says that we are the Temple of the Living God. But sin and rebellion can drive God far from his sanctuary. In fact, it is only the god you truly worship who will be near to you. If you engage with the work of darkness, the demons of darkness will be near to you. Begin to worship and draw near to the God of Truth and the Bible says He will draw near to you. (James 4:8).
God is drawn to worship.
God is drawn to repentance.
God is drawn to obedience.
How many know that we need the God peace, hope, truth, joy, forgiveness, justice, and reconciliation to draw near to us?
Trade your abominations for adoration.
Change your rebellion to repentance.
Turn from wandering and begin to worship.
For the sake of the world: repent and welcome God back to His sanctuary and we will have peace.
