Is there any point to being a Christian? What privilege do we receive by being part of God's people? Deuteronomy 4:7 tells us that God's people have something no other people have: that "the LORD our God is near to us, whenever we call upon him". What a breathtaking statement! Can it really be true despite the fact that God is perfectly Holy and we are sinful human beings? We pray God would bless this message to draw you near to him in your heart.
