Man seeking God is a good definition of “religion.” In many ways this is true of Christianity. The Bible says:
” I love those that love Me and those who seek Me find Me” (proverbs 8:17).
” You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29 13).
And in Acts 17:27, the Bible says ” God did this so that men should seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him though He is not far from each one of us.”
The Bible teaches that people should turn from idols and seek the living God. We find, however, that when a person seeks and turns to the living God, He is there and reaching out to receive that person.
Jesus said In Luke 19:10, “For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”
Again, The Bible says, “ But when the time had fully calm, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law…….” (Galatians 4:4).
And finally, “ Yet to all who received Him (Jesus), to those who believed in his name, He gave the right to become children of God….” (John 1:12).
People often seek God in order to satisfy an emptiness in the heart, or to gain strength in the time of suffering, or to provide hope in a hopeless situation.
The living God, through Jesus Christ, satisfies all of this, and more: (1) He gives peace of heart and mind, (2) He provides strength and courage, and (3) He gives hope where there is no hope.
While God wants to be your heavenly Father, He can do this only as you turn in faith and by prayer receive Him into your life.
God may be trusted to keep his promise, and He has promised that those who seek Him will find Him.
