How’s Your Relationship With God? John 14:6-11

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” 8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.”

Matthew 12:30 “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” Do you have a personal relationship with God? If not, you are an enemy of the cross!

Galatians 3:26-27 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. To be a Christian is to have a relationship with God, through Christ!

Our Question for the Hour: What things must be present for us to have a Personal Relationship with God?

What A Relationship With God Requires Contact with God 1 John 2:12-14; Hebrews 13:5-6

1 John 2:12-14 I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. 13 I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, Because you have known the Father. 14 I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” 6 So we may boldly say: “The LORD is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

What A Relationship With God Requires Contact with God 1 John 2:12-14; Hebrews 13:5-6 Spending Time Together with God Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Worship (Hebrews 10:24-25)

1 Thessalonians 5:17 “Pray without ceasing.” No man can have a fruitful relationship with God if he does not spend time with him each day in prayer.

Hebrews 10:24-25 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, 25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching. “Where two or three are gathered together…” (cf. Matthew 18:20). When we worship, we are in the presence of God!

What A Relationship With God Requires Contact with God 1 John 2:12-14; Hebrews 13:5-6 Spending Time Together with God Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Worship (Hebrews 10:24-25) Trust in God (ex: Abraham, Jas. 2:21-23); 1 John 2:3-5

James 2:21-23 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God.

1 John 2:3-5 Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.

What A Relationship With God Requires Contact with God 1 John 2:12-14; Hebrews 13:5-6 Spending Time Together with God Prayer (1 Thessalonians 5:17) Worship (Hebrews 10:24-25) Trust in God (ex: Abraham, Jas. 2:21-23); 1 John 2:3-5 Nurturing John 14:23; Ephesians 5:8-11

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.”

Ephesians 5:8-11 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Conclusion The Gospel call is to know God; and, more importantly, to be known by Him (Galatians 4:8-9)

Galatians 4:8-9 But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9 But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?
