What does it mean to have a relationship with Christ?and how do we attain it?Is God with you? Is Jesus with you? Do you know Jesus? In relationships there must be two willing parties. 1. Jesus wants and loves you. John 3:16 2. In order to have a relationship you have to want it. Seeing Jesus once a week at church ain't going to cut it. Before I was married I lived alone. Your married into it now. You wake up. Hey Jesus. You get breakfast What's up Jesus......Some of us have a casual Acquaintance as a savior. While his relationship with us is to be "church"- wife. Jesus Groom. Ephesians 5:22-Relationship- husband and wife, Repentance brings relationship. Acknowledge your wrong. Allow Jesus to fix it. Communication + Time + adaptation = relationship. Holy Spirit brings life to this relationship. The evidence of this relationship is life change. Prayer or talking with God, listening, allowing our path to be adjusted. Growth after salvation-John 15:1-15 I am the vine. Relationship with Jesus brings 1. Fruit 2. Answers to prayer 3. Obedience 4. Acceptance of His love 5. Overflowing Joy 6. God is my friend. Dead branches on your tree We love Jesus We love one another. Moses or are you good no up the mountain yourself? Are you pursuing God? Take a picture with The Christian celebrity or live on leftovers. When was the last time you went up the mountain yourself. I can get distracted by stuff or tasks instead of seeking the literal presence of God. How close are you to Jesus? How much time do you spend with God. We get changed by the people we spend the most time around. Are you around God enough to become more like him. Don't allow other people's experiences be enough. You need to go here yourself. Gideon- I want to be sure you are with me. Paul I just want to know Christ. For me to live is Christ to die is gain.Religion and function or good works cannot save you. Invite people to have space and pray.
