When you are a believer, you believe in Gods existence and have faith in His power and strength. But it is not enough to believe as it does not help further your association with Him. After belief and faith, it is time to develop a personal and up close relationship with Him. This article will briefly explain how to build a close relationship with God. Ultimately, it is important to do so because it helps us love others and Him.
Understanding His expectations of you is the first step in making a connection to God. Even people must know each other well before becoming friends. To know what He expects from you, study His laws and rules. They are not meant to oppress, rather show the path to His presence. When we consider and follow His rules, we can start making a connection to Him.
The second step is prayer. Praying is a way of communicating to God and, therefore, is paramount when trying to make a connection to Him. A prayer is a simple talk; it does not have to be complicated. It is like a conversation of someone you love, only filled with respect and adoration. In prayer, it is important to be grateful for good and bad things and also to pray for other people.
Another important step that many people ignore is repentance. Sin separates us from God and, therefore when we confess, it is another chance to restore a constrained association. He is pure and without sin, and we are opposite of that. It is only repentance that restore His grace and mercy back in our lives.
The third way to create a relationship to our Creator is to listen to His words. He speaks through the Bible. Sometimes, its hard to hear Him speak but He does. We must ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to help listen to his words.
Also, it is important to find a body of believers whom to worship with. True believers encourage one another so that everyone stays on the correct path. However, you must guard your heart as there are people who claim to speak for God but their actions are contrary.
Lastly, remember to make Him a friend. Keep Him involved in whatever you do. Just like we always keep our friends in the loop, He wants us to include Him. Share your concerns, dreams, worries, struggles and joys. Let God work in your life and also take away your sorrow and pain to replace them with love, happiness, and joy.
Lastly, bear in mind Gods love for you bears no boundaries. Whenever you wander away from His light, try to find your way back, repent, and He will welcome you back to His flock. Whenever in need, do not hesitate to ask for Help. Be grateful for what is granted and what is not because it is all by His mercy. Also, pray for others and tell them of His love and mercies.
