“their heart is far from me.” – Jesus Matthew 15:8

If our hearts are far from God then:

“Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts: And let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; And to our God, for HE WILL abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:7, KJV 1900)

Did you know that the Biblical writings from the BC (BCE) predicted a coming “Servant/Messiah” who would bring God’s word to the nations world over? Did you know that Jesus claimed to be that Messiah and claimed that His message would go to the nations world over? The rest is history…(something the gnostic gospels failed to do and the non believing Jews in Christ failed to do. Christ accomplished and continues to do so. And the Christian knock offs like Islam and Mormonism/JW etc etc are only but riding off the massive success of the Christ that fulfilled the predictions/prophecies well before they appopriated Him).
