Confirmation makes you closer to god?

Hello.

What brings us closer to God is our knowledge of who he is, and what are His requirements if we want to please Him.

The first thing we become familiar with when we want to get closer to a person, is to know their name. That is why God has presented himself in these Words found in The Bible. Read Isaiah 42: 8 " I am Jehovah. That is my name."

And the meaning of that name is " He causes to become".

His personality and attributes--who and what he is--are fully summed up and expressed only in this personal name. Psalms 83: 18 reads. " May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Revelation 4: 11 reads. "You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created."

Having that in mind, every day we have the opportunity to discover how generous our God Jehovah is, by simply taking some time to observr His creation, where life is everywhere around us. It is evident in the humming of insects, the singing of birds, the rustlings of small animals in the underbrush. It exists in the icy polar regions and in parched deserts.

Earth is packed with life so abundant and varied as to stagger the imagination. Man's awesome brain bears the image of the One who made him.

The first step all humans should take is, to first show our apprciation on daily bases for such generosity, that God has shown to mankind.

Getting close to God involves becoming familiar with His purpose for mankind when He created our planet. Isaiah 45: 18 tells us that God firmly established the earth and did not create it for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited.

Genesis 2: 17 shows that God had given Adam and Eve the possibility to live forever on it. Unfortunately they chose not to live forever by their choice of life. Read Genesis chapter 3, which is mankind's history.

The Bible which is a letter from God and beneficial for our teaching and setting things straight, according to 2 Timothy 3: 16,17 should attract all those who want to get closer to Him.

God's purpose that humans live forever on earth has not changed. The book of Psalms 37: 29 shows that the earth will one day be filled with righteous people who will live forever on it. I suggest you read the whole chapter 37 of Psalms.

1 John 5: 19 explains why our world is in such a mess in these Words. " The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one. Revelation 12: 9 defines the wicked one in these Words. " The original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth. confirmed in Genesis 3: 1-5 .

1 John 5: 20 shows us that Jesus came on earth to give us insight. So we are not left powerless. We can get closer to God by taking in knowledge of Him, whose will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. Read 1 Timothy 2: 4-6.

Jesus also told us to pray for God's Kingdom to come ( His government ) where His will, will take place as in heaven also on earth. Read Matthew 6: 9,10.

So to answer your question which is, if the belief in the act of confirmation makes us closer to God, The answer is to get closer to God, involve accurate knowledge and living up to his standards .

Kind regards
