CHRIST DRAWS NEAR

‘OKU ‘UNU‘UNU MAI ‘A E KALAISI 

JAMES 4:8

Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

SEMISI 4:8

‘Unu‘unu atu ki he ‘Otua, pea ‘e ‘unu‘unu mai ia kiate kimoutolu. Fakama‘a homou nima, ‘a kau angahala; pea fakatāpui ‘a homou loto, ‘a kau siosio ua.

 

Solus Christus - Christ Alone - Ko Kalasi pe   

Scripture throughout calls Him Lord, the Father having appointed Him over us for the express purpose of exercising His government through Him. For though many lordships are celebrated in the world, yet Paul says, "To us there is but one says, God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him" (1 Corinthians 8:6).

Whence it is justly inferred that He is the same God who, by the mouth of Isaiah, declared, "The Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our Lawgiver, the Lord is our King: he will save us" (Isaiah 33:22). For though He everywhere describes all the power which power He possesses as the benefit and gift of the Father, the meaning simply is that He reigns by divine authority, because His reason for assuming the office of Mediator was that descending from the bosom and incomprehensible glory of the Father, He might draw near to us.
