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.
Here it says that if we draw near to God, and He will draw near to us. If we take the initiative to spend time drawing near to God, He will draw near to us. Sinners should confess their sins and repent, and those who are double-minded between God and the world should purify their hearts. We should do our best spending less time in the world and spend more time drawing near to God, and God will draw near to us and we will experience His presence.

Matthew 7:7-8 7 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Lord Jesus said that ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you Sometimes when we pray, the Lord answers our prayers right away, sometimes the Lord does not answer right away, we need to continue praying until the Lord answers our prayers. We seek until we find, and knock until the Lord opens the door. The parable of the unrighteous judge and the parable of friend at midnight in the Bible both tell us that Lord Jesus wants us to seek until we find, and knock until the door is opened. The Canaanite woman kept asking Lord Jesus to cast out the demon from her daughter, and Lord Jesus said that her faith was great.

John 3:3,5 3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
What does born again mean ? Born again means receiving the Holy Spirit. When a person believes in the Lord and is baptized, he receives the Holy Spirit, he is born again, he is born of water and the Holy Spirit. When a person confesses his sins and repents and is baptized, God forgives his sins and gives him the Holy Spirit to live in his heart. This person is born again and saved, he receives new life, and becomes a new person. Jesus said that unless a person is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God and cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
