Proverbs 15:29 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God says...

“The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous.” (Proverbs 15:29 NKJV)

This reminds that the wicked, in his state of sinfulness, is far from God. His prayer could not reach God due to the barrier of sin.

That's the state of the world then, as it is today, for those who deny Jesus. Yet God, driven by His love of the world, He came over two thousand years ago. He was born like us, so we can be like Him - restored in His image when we were created (Genesis 1:26). And, He makes us righteous in His eyes. Out of compassion, He came to reconcile His prized creation to Himself. He lived amongst us to relate with us. So that when we receive Jesus to be our Savior and be born again, we will see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). And, as our sin is cleansed by faith in Jesus, the barrier is demolished. He hears our prayer!

The scriptures declare, as it is written: 'All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).' (Matthew 1:22, 23 ESV)

The angel and heavenly host celebrate! And, we celebrate His entrance into our world, because: “THE SON OF GOD BECAME A SON OF MAN TO ENABLE SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) OF MEN TO BECOME SONS (AND DAUGHTERS) OF GOD!”(C.S. Lewis)

The Bible says: "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace goodwill toward men!” (Luke 2:13-14 KJV)

And I say, AMEN!
