“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have nothing more that they can do.” Rather, “fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority and power to hurl [you] into hell.” Yes I can – I can stand strong.
God Is Not Distant
God is not some far away, distant-from-you, dis-concerned bubble of energy, inside some aura of mist on a mysterious planet far far away in a different galaxy. Star Trek might lead one to believe that! But the Bible says that Creator God created us to walk and talk with us, to commune with us, like He did with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:8).
