DEVELOP A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
“And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he hath sent, him ye do not believe. Ye search the scriptures, for ye think that in them ye have life eternal, and they it is which bear witness concerning me; And ye will not come to me that ye might have life.”
John 5:38-40 (Darby)
Main Text: Deuteronomy 31:6
Jesus loves everyone and He ministered His love to all those He came into contact with when He was on the earth. The root of religion in the Pharisees had no room for Jesus. The teachers of the law were convinced that they were right and Jesus was wrong because He didn’t fit their religious order.
It is too easy to preach about Jesus and not preach Jesus. He is a subject matter and not a matter of subject. God is calling the church to comeback to the Word. the question could be asked; “Who do the men where you work, where you live, where you go to church say that the Son of man is?” Jesus is not a religion; He is a relationship.
You cannot find Jesus in a system of religion. You need to meet Him in person. Do it today. Intimacy is found in a person.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I ask to be taken into a deeper relationship with you, where I will grow in faith and Your Word, in Jesus name, Amen.
Further Reading: Romans 5:8 (AMP) “But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us.” Isaiah 66:2 (AMP) “For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands.”
Read through the Bible: Jeremiah 2 & Matthew 16
