THE GOOD NEWS MAGAZINE 38TH EDITION

UP-CLOSE WITH JESUS - By Justus Ondieki

Hello precious friends, welcome back to our 38th Edition of the Good News Magazine. We are glad to share with you this beautiful topic, ‘Upclose with Jesus’. Isn’t it wonderful to know how God cherishes our walk with Him? To start with, you may agree with me that God values so much our relationship with Him. From the very beginning, when God created Adam and Eve, His intention
was to keep our relationship upclose with Him. However, this was short lived when Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating the fruit of the forbidden tree.

Genesis 3:8-9 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? This is what’s happening in our current generation. We are running away from God’s presence. We are walking in our own path forgetting that we need God in every day of our lives. We have lost track and disobeyed our creator by sinning against God. Upon realizing that we have sinned before the Lord, we tend to run away and hide, just like Adam and his wife Eve who hid themselves from God’s presence. They never wanted to be close with God because they were ashamed. Are we running away from God? Would you rather run away or stay closer to God? Definitely the latter! In Romans 5:19 the Word says, For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Here, Jesus became the sacrificial lamb who took all our sins on the cross.
