1Ch 28:9, “As for you, MY SON SOLOMON, KNOW THE GOD OF YOUR FATHER, AND SERVE HIM WITH A LOYAL HEART AND WITH A WILLING MIND; FOR THE LORD SEARCHES ALL HEARTS AND UNDERSTANDS ALL THE INTENT OF THE THOUGHTS. IF YOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND BY YOU; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
Psa 9:10, And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; FOR YOU, LORD, HAVE NOT FORSAKEN THOSE WHO SEEK YOU.
Many people go to church out of obligation, but they fail in knowing GOD! HE is a loving Father who can be found if you diligently seek HIM!
Isa 55:6, SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND, CALL UPON HIM WHILE HE IS NEAR
Scripture points out that HE can be found in life, YET IN DEATH THERE IS NO MORE HOPE FOR HIS WORDS OF SALVATION!
Isa 38:18, For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; THOSE WHO GO DOWN TO THE PIT CANNOT HOPE FOR YOUR TRUTH.
For the believer, earth is the closest they will ever be to hell! Yet, for the non-believer, this is the closest they will be to heaven! The choice is made here and now!
Psa 119:9-10, HOW CAN A YOUNG MAN CLEANSE HIS WAY? BY TAKING HEED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments!
Heb 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, FOR HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
