Knowing How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


It becomes an amazing thing to develop an intimate affiliation on God. It reflects a totally reborn heart because it is just those who are already in Christ desire this. It should be kept in mind that there is no point in the life of Christians will one get close to our Lord as they would wish for. The reason is persistent sinning on the part of human beings. Sin is an obstacle preventing us from achieving complete communion through the Lord. Below is a discussion about how to build a close relationship with God.

First and foremost is constant confession of sins. As it has been already said that sin is the obstacle standing between us and God then confession is the only way to remove it. Our Lord has promised to forgive us on the condition that we have to confess first. Even among human beings it is forgiveness which restores strained relationships.

People should know that confession is not just words written. It should come from the deepest part of your heart after realizing that fin is the worst offense to the Holy Spirit. It is repentance for someone who realizes that Jesus died to save human.

The second undertaking is listening to God. This will not come through supernatural experiences like having God speak to you face to face. Peter the apostle says that the bible is something sure which Christians should pay attention to as one would to a light shining in the dark until dawn breaks and rises in the hearts of Christians. God has given out His spirit to help Christians in bible teachings interpretation.

Prayer is another way too. This is how we speak to God. It is more than just asking God for what we want or need. The Psalms are mostly heartfelt cries of David to God which we can borrow from. There are supplications, thanksgiving, contrition and adoration modeled divinely.

A congregation worshiping God is good for you. When you regularly worship with others, you will have spiritual growth. Attending the church on regular basis does not only bring you back to God, but also gives you a chance to worship with other members of the church. Worshiping as a group helps us build a closer connection to the creator.

Obeying his commandments makes you a closer child to him. Those who were obedient in the scriptures got rewarded. This means that you will receive his grace and also salvation if you simply obey him. You will get saved when you repent and live according to his will. Obeying God shows that we appreciate his mercies in our lives.

So when you ask for forgiveness, have bible study sessions, join the congregation to worship him and obey his words, you will without doubt have an excellent relationship on him. It is not that simple. You can use examples of how you relate through other people to know this. Those who stay together, have regular encounters, express their feelings openly and listen well as the others speak have fair relationships. This is also how you should relate with God and be his companion.
