INTRO: Our subject is coming back to God. Here is the process of coming back to God this far. First, in any matter when we have left God or we are disobedient to Him, when God sees the time is right, He initiates our coming back. He may withhold rain, send grasshoppers or allow any other pain to enter our lives in order to get our attention. Then the onus lies on us to humble ourselves before Him. That is the first principle on our part in coming back to God; humility. Until any man humbles himself, whether it be before salvation or after, something has happened. Sin has entered somewhere. Pride lies at the root of all sin, and before anything meaningful can happen between God and the sinner; whether he be saved or lost, sin must be dealt with. And for sin to be dealt with, pride must first make way for humility. Let me give the first four beatitudes in that great sermon on the mount; Jesus first major discourse. He said: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Poor in spirit. Humility precedes all steps towards God. There is a reason for this. Either we are more important to ourselves, than God is; or God is more important to us than we are. And when we are more important to ourselves than God is, we live in pride. Whether it be in what we call low self-esteem or high self-esteem.
