27 That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: (Acts 17:27 KJV)
We all need to seek the Lord, and the statement “feel after him” is like a blind man feeling his way, not knowing where he is going, but just groping around after Him. The truth is that God is not far from all of us, and if we seek after Him with all our hearts, we will find Him (Jeremiah 29:13). Saying that we find God is not really correct, as God is not the one that was lost, but we were. God wants us to fellowship with Him, and will answer us when we search for Him with all our hearts (Matthew 5:6). Finding God is just the first step, as getting to know God in a intimate way, is what we need to do. Being born again is absolutely necessary, but getting to know God through the study of His Word (Romans 12:2), is what brings us the eternal life (John 3:16) that makes the Christian life so awesome. After being born again we must then obey Jesus to assure our eternal salvation (Hebrews 5:9). Knowing God’s love, and the peace it brings, makes a real difference in our lives.
Once we have found God, or He has found us, and we have been born again, then God lives in us from then on, and we become one with Him (John 17:11). That is such a wonderful thing, and has been a fact that we have a hard time comprehending, as we are in Him, and He is in us, and we have become one with Him. That is beyond our capacity to fully understand, as it is in the spiritual realm, and us carnal humans have a hard time understanding that. What we have to do is know that God’s Word is true, and accept what it is telling us about spiritual things, as the Word of God is Spirit and Truth (John 17:17). Thank you Lord for your Word!
