Is God Your Friend Or Is God Your Lord?

Is God Your Friend Or Is He Your Lord?

I have been reading in 2 Samuel 6:9
David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?

We might ask the same question.

The ark of the Lord was brought to David, by David Completely Obeying God.

Many people think that God is our Friend. Perhaps…. but more…
He is our Lord.
Just like a parent cannot become friends with their children while they are growing up…..they have to remain the Parent.

God remains our Lord.

In other words….God wants to Bring Us Up To His Level to Become our friend. We can Not Expect a Holy God to come Down to our Level.
{Our Sinful Nature}

If We Want God To Come Closer To Us……We Have To Come Closer To God.

Sin in our life separates us from God. Obedience brings us closer to God.
