Your Relationship with God

God created you for two purposes -- to glorify and have a close, personal relationship with Him. He wanted someone on which to pour out His unconditional love and who would love Him back. We were not originally created for this world but for God. Therefore, nothing of this world will ever satisfy the deepest longing of our hearts. Everything you need can be found in a close walk with the Lord as He becomes your greatest desire.

The reason Jesus came to earth and died on a cross was to restore our relationship with God.  Accepting the salvation He offers is the first step, because we cannot be close to our Holy God otherwise. He will not tolerate sin or be in its presence. When Christ imputes His righteousness to us, then we can be holy, too.

After we take that first step, we can begin the lifelong journey of getting to know the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Studying His Word and prayer are important tools in getting to know Him and growing closer. When He becomes absolutely the most important thing in your life, you will have that peace which passes all understanding.
