Why Should I Develop a Personal Relationship With God?

We were made to be in relationship with the God who created us. Our
need for Him inevitably manifests itself in our lives. And if we seek Him,
God promises that we will find Him.


How Can I Develop a Relationship With God?

"Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5: 7-8
  • A personal relationship with God isn't something we can earn;
    it's something that God offers us through Jesus Christ.
  • People are imperfect and inconsistent.
  • God is perfectly, consistently merciful and loving. He is also
    holy and just.
  • Because we are imperfect and inconsistent (what the Bible
    calls sin), we are incapable of developing a personal relationship with
    God by what we do.
  • Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. He was executed on a
    cross and rose again from the dead.
  • By his death and resurrection, Jesus willingly paid the penalty
    for the sins of those who trust in Him.
  • Jesus Christ is, then, the means by which we begin and
    develop a personal relationship with God.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
