"Draw Near To God" -Too

"But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all His works." (Psalms 73:28) Whether you can believe it or not, drawing near to God is what makes all the difference in the world; those that get saved are the ones that draw near to God; those that remain in their sins, do so, because they refuse to draw near to God. Jesus explained this very plainly to Nicodemus, as He illustrated the difference between those that come to the Light, and those that hate the Light. (John 3:18-21) I think that someone can come to Jesus and still not get saved; I think it happens all the time, it pretty much depends on whether a person wants to remain in the darkness that they love, or if they want to draw more and more into the Light. I heard an interesting message the other day, that I think fits perfectly into this example of 'drawing near to God' and whether or not we want to be righteous or unrighteous; because the honest to goodness truth in the whole matter, is that we don't have to sin any more, if we don't want to. The message was taken from Matthew 22:8-14, which is the second part of "The Wedding Banquet" message. In this message, there was the issue of "The Wedding Garment" which was furnished by the king to everyone that his servants gathered in from the streets, but he found one man that refused to put it on. In verse 12, the king comes to the man, asking, "Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?" Now, I have looked for the reason that it is assumed that these garments were given out, and it has got to be because these people were just taken off the streets, because the people meant to be there refused to come. Regardless of how, the message explained how Jesus clothes us in His righteousness, but not everyone that comes to Him will accept the garments that He is handing out. It pretty much is like what Paul describes to us in Romans 6, in that we must 'die to sin' because our flesh has been crucified with Christ. It's no longer a question of sinning or not, but more of the reason we no longer need to keep on sinning. It is really centered on the fact that God has supplied you with everything you need, you just need to accept all that He has given you; and you can only do that by drawing near to God, and coming out of the darkness. Oh, and by the way, why do you think no one might have mentioned to the man that he should have put on the garments? Love is caring enough for someone you love to not remain silent...
"But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! Those that belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to the cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another. Dear bothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. Share each other's burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ. If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not important." (Galatians 5:22-6:3) NLT
