(You do not know God because you do not seek God. Without faith in Jesus, you are still dead in your sins. All righteous acts are seen as filthy rags if done without the atonement and covering of Christ.)
Isaiah 55:7 English Standard Version
7 let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
(God can be as close as your beating heart within but only once you turn to the Lord.)
Proverbs 15:29 English Standard Version
29 The Lord is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
(I can recall only two accounts in the Bible where God responded to an unbeliever. God as a righteous holy being purposely distances Himself from sin.)
Revelation 3:15-16 English Standard Version
15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.
(God doesn't accept halfway as He desires full surrender to Him. Only then will you begin to truly experience God. Only then will the veil be torn that gives you a direct line to God without the separation of sin. Only then as you operate in the will of God, will He 100% hear your prayers.)
John 9:31 English Standard Version
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him.
(Two requirements for God to listen to us. We must be a worshiper of Him and do the will of God that is written in the Bible for all Christians.)
Jeremiah 29:13 English Standard Version
13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
(God challenges the sinner to seek and they will find Him. A seeking that requires the mind, heart, and soul. All in a complete surrender type of seeking. One may ask where do I seek? The mountains? A monastery? Meditation of the mind? No. It is as simple as seeking Jesus.)
Colossians 1:15 English Standard Version
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
(Jesus Christ is the image of the spiritual immaterial God that most think of when we think of God. We seek God by seeking Jesus. We learn the characteristics of God through the Old and New Testaments of scripture. Especially the New Testament as we see the personhood of Jesus. We see God’s incarnation in the flesh provide us with a God who can relate to the humanness of humanity. God became a personal God who dealt with human emotions, human pain, human fears, and worries. But He provided an example for us all in a personal way. Seek Him today, do not just stand from afar, knock and the door shall be opened to the experience of a true relationship with God. If you seek to have this type of relationship but need further guidance please reach out and I will help you.)
