VIII. MAIN BODY:

A. Come near to GOD

1. True hearts

2. unqualified assurance

3. absolute conviction by faith

"Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness),"

It's all done by faith. We cannot really make our hearts honest and sincere for all men are liars but GOD made it clean for us not our own human efforts but we rely on divine effort.

Draw near or come forward both came from the Greek word: "proserchomai" meaning:

1. to come to, approach

2. draw near to

3. to assent to

The only part that we can play is to come near to GOD and GOD will give us true hearts, assure us thru His Words, and increase our faith all with His Presence.

Romans 3:4 (Amplified Bible)

3:4 By no means! Let God be found true though every human being is false and a liar, as it is written, That You may be justified and shown to be upright in what You say, and prevail when You are judged [by sinful men].

Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible)

11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who earnestly and diligently seek Him [out].

Coming to GOD is not really works but an action proven by our faith to GOD.

Hebrews 7:19 (Amplified Bible)

7:19 For the Law never made anything perfect—but instead a better hope is introduced through which we [now] come close to God.

Psalms 73:28 (Amplified Bible)

73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God and made Him my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.

James 4:8 (Amplified Bible)

4:8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. [Recognize that you are] sinners, get your soiled hands clean; [realize that you have been disloyal] wavering individuals with divided interests, and purify your hearts [of your spiritual adultery].

Be conscious of who we really are, that we are sinners coming to GOD, but in His Mercy and Kindness, He made us His sons.

B. What do we bring to GOD?

1. hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty conscience

2. bodies cleansed with pure water

"having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water."

What we can only do, is to come in faith. We can come to GOD expecting Him to convince us of His Presence but it's not, we come to GOD, already convinced by His Power and Presence.

Heart is "kardia" in Greek meaning:

1. the thoughts or feelings (mind)

2. the soul or mind, as it is the fountain and seat of the thoughts, passions, desires, appetites, affections, purposes, endeavours

Heart in the Bible means heart, soul or our mind where we have our emotions.

Body is "soma" in Greek meaning:

1. the body (as a sound whole)

2. literally or figuratively: - bodily, body, slave

Ezekiel 36:25 (Amplified Bible)

36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleanness; and from all your idols will I cleanse you.

Hebrews 9:13-14 (Amplified Bible)

9:13 For if [the mere] sprinkling of unholy and defiled persons with blood of goats and bulls and with the ashes of a burnt heifer is sufficient for the purification of the body,

9:14 How much more surely shall the blood of Christ, Who by virtue of [His] eternal Spirit [His own preexistent divine personality] has offered Himself as an unblemished sacrifice to God, purify our consciences from dead works and lifeless observances to serve the [ever] living God?

1 John 3:20 (Amplified Bible)

3:20 Whenever our hearts in [tormenting] self-accusation make us feel guilty and condemn us. [For we are in God’s hands.] For He is above and greater than our consciences (our hearts), and He knows (perceives and understands) everything [nothing is hidden from Him].

What makes us different from the people of this world, is when we get convicted by the HOLY SPIRIT, we draw near to GOD, but the world rans away from GOD.

John 8:9 (Amplified Bible)

8:9 They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court.

Titus 3:5 (Amplified Bible)

3:5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but because of His own pity and mercy, by [the] cleansing [bath] of the new birth (regeneration) and renewing of the Holy Spirit,

IX. CONCLUSION:

Thank You very much LORD JESUS because of Your Presence we can now come near to GOD to obtain mercy and His kindness in time of our need and while we are coming You are cleansing us more to be like You.

Hebrews 4:16 (Amplified Bible)

4:16 Let us then fearlessly and confidently and boldly draw near to the throne of grace (the throne of God’s unmerited favor to us sinners), that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find grace to help in good time for every need [appropriate help and well-timed help, coming just when we need it].
