Близость Божия
Machine translation from the original · Show original
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and will save the humble by the Spirit (Ps. 33:19). The Lord draws closer to everyone with His goodness, but we drive ourselves away through sins. For it is said: those who remove themselves from You will perish (Ps. 72:27). Why is it said about Moses that he approached God (Ex. 24:2); and if someone else is like Moses, then through his virtues and good deeds he becomes close to God (2).
Closeness with the Lord is recognized not by carnal affinity, but by thoroughness in fulfilling the will of God (4).
