Believers Guide On How To Build A Close Relationship With God

By Francis Riggs


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.

Talk to Him. Just as friends talk, God wants us to talk to Him. We talk to Him when we pray. Prayers should not be complicated affairs; they are as simple as making conversation. Its an engaging speak in a respectful and loving way. Start by saying thank you for great things He does and also pray for others.

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.

Another way to grow our relationship between us and our Creator is through listening to Him speak. Reading His word daily is the first step to hearing Him speak. He also speaks through His Holy Spirit whom he sent to the world to help believers. The Spirit will help understand His word, and it will guide your paths so that you do not walk away from the path He recommends.

It is crucial for one to worship in the company of other believers. Seeing others like you helps grow your determination to develop a close association to the Maker. Besides, it sets you on the path of encouragement and correction so that you may maintain an upright walk. Beware of some believers as others may be wolves in sheeps clothing.

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.
