Our Being

Acts 17:26-28 ESV 

And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for

“‘In him we live and move and have our being’;

as even some of your own poets have said,

“‘For we are indeed his offspring.’

He gives us life that we might find His life that we might join Him in our life with His. 

He brings our spirits to life, helps us as we move from our darkness into His light,

 until we are living as one in Him in life everlasting. 

He is not far from us because in Him we live. This applies even to the one who rejects the Lord. If a cup of clay rejects the idea of a potter, it has no meaning or impact on the reality of cup and potter. The same is true of the reality of man and God. 

He has crossed the impossible expanse between Himself and man and shows us the way to make that journey. He will make journey with each of us and lead the way.
