Human relationship with God Relationship is the art of connecting or linking two or More persons with the purpose of achieving a common goal. Man relates with man as well with God. People link with others for many reasons. We connect for assistance, for fellowship, for job, marriage, and etc. Relationship is all about giving and taking. God is the initiator of relationship. In the beginning he made man in his image and after his likeliness. He did not leave man to himself. He connects with the man always in the garden of Eden. To discuss and care for him. Until when man decided to listen to devil who deceived him and collected his divine identity. After this act of disobedient, God who can behold sin separated from man. Man lost the good times he was enjoying relating with his creator and wandered like a ship without a Shepherd. The only loving father full of passion was not pleased seeing his people wandering helplessly and without hope while they have him. In this he decided to renew his relationship with man. Then he sent his only son to pay the prize for the reconciliation. The book of John 3: 16 says, for God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Why should God give his only son when he knew man’s heart is full of evil? God is not man. And he cannot think like one. As heaven is higher than the earth so God is higher than man in every ramifications. He gave him for love. For strong and constant feeling of affection did he gave him. Jesus is the prize for love. God never hate man but he dislike with passion the sin of disobedient. He gave him to show the world how much he loved it, and that he can do anything to save it. Jesus is the only son of God, yet he gave his life for us to live. He gave him for his glory. God is a jealous God. He shares his glory with no man. He can do anything to retain his glory. Man is created in his likeliness, and he can never allow or share his due praises from man. Man’s heart is the dwelling place for the most Holy God. He gave him for us to live. Man who had sinned don’t deserve to life. His place is eternal condemnation. God is loving and holy. He don’t pay evil with evil. He don’t have pleasure in the death of the sinners. So he died for us to live. He gave man everlasting live through the death of his only son. He gave him for restoration of friendship. Before the coming of Jesus man was enemy to God. For him to reconcile and restore man to himself, he gave his only son as a peace and reconciliation offering. God and man relationship generated envy in the heart of Satan that made him asked, what is man that you’re so mind of him. What are the conditions to be in relationship with God. He loves the world and wants all to have eternal live. He did not want man to perform any form sacrifice or give his lives before he can have everlasting life. The things he wants us to do to live forever is very simple, and they are, You must believe and receive his son. John 3:16b, said , whosoever believeh in him should not perish but shall have everlasting life. For us to have a very good relationship with him we most believe and trust him. You cannot win the love or the friendship of somebody you did not trust and received. You must love him. He’s expecting us to love him the way he loved us. Matthew 22:37 said Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with thy soul, and with all thy mind. God is demanding the best from us. Best of our time, best fellowship, money. He just need our best nothing less. Remember, remember love him with all your heart, soul, and mind. To relate with God we must be Holy. Holiness is the very essence of God. It is the attribute that make him what he is. If you remove Holiness from God, he is no longer God. Be yea holy for I am holy. An without holiness no man can behold him. Hebrew 12:14 says, Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. An man who has received and believed Christ Jesus can never be sinful. Holiness is of the Lord. If the son of God is in you and you in him sin will be far from you. Always remember God loves you, he died for your sin, reconciled you to himself and gives you everlasting life. So my friend don’t fail to believe and receive him today, love him with all you have (your heart, soul, and mind). God bless you.
