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.
The first step in making and maintaining a good association to God is knowing what He expects of you and doing exactly that. Just that it does not make being friends to someone you barely know or understand, knowing and following the rules and guidelines God gives for making a connection to Him. The rules and directives are in His laws and is upon you to study and follow them through His guidance.
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.
Repentance is a sure way to build an association to our Maker. God is holy and without sin, and we are full of sins. Sins constrain our association to Him but when we confess and ask for forgiveness, He promises to bring us back to Him.
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.
Worshiping in the company of other believers is essential for every believer trying to establish a close association to God. Believers encourage and correct other believers to walk in the path of light. However, one must always be careful as not everyone who claims to be a believer is actually one.
The last step is to keep Him in the loop. We have friends who are always up to date in whatever is happening in our lives. The same case should apply to our Creator. Always update Him about your life although He already knows it. Share your concerns, sorrows, struggles and also good times. Allow Him to make significant changes in your life and bring happiness and joy in place of pain and sorrow.
Always remember that He loves you more than anything. Whenever you feel so far away from His grace, find a way to come back. Repent your sins as often as possible and always allow Him to move in your life. Also, ask Him for whatever you need, always being grateful for what He gives or does not give. Tell others about His goodness and always pray for others too.
