God
the Father.(the
Great Everliving Infinite One)
Relationship With The Great
Infinite One,
often referred to as 'God'.John
4:23,24
The
One who came to earth and was born as the man they called Jesus; His main
impetus
in life was His relationship with the Great Infinite Intelligence that
we commonly refer to as God, the Father, the father
of all that is seen and known. So should ours
be:.1John
1:3; 1Corinthians 1:9.
That is a
reason why God came here in this physical person of Christ.
Christ,
the
resurrected person of Jesus, now in heaven, has total confidence in
this being we call God, His
and our spiritual Father. He came from His Father. We came out of our
father in the form of mankind, specifically of our dad and mom (called
'mankind' because the man was made first)
The
Great Infinite One wants us to live as a warrior, not some namby-pamby.
Jesus won the battle against the Satan controlled dark
side, because He was connected to God:.Acts
10:38. He stayed connected to the spiritual side. What
does that mean?
David, once a great warrior
and now a king, sent others to battle. Instead of leading his men, he stayed
home and played
around with a woman belonging to another.
He had
lost courage:.Revelation
12:11.
Have we?
On Earth as Jesus He had
confidence:.Matthew
26:39; John 5:30;.John
8:29 "And he that sent me is with me.(Jesus
was absolutely confident about this).
The Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things
that please him." John 11:42
"And I knew that you hear me always.....".He
was always sure God heard Him, that God was there, that God listens and
responds to one's thoughts, one's heart. Are you?
We were chosen to have a
relationship with God.(Ephesians
1:4 "According as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of
the world.{see
'Predestination'},
that we should be holy and without blame before.{original
'in His presence'}.him
in love.{original,
'rapport' and
'deep affection'}."),
and to be one of His sons and daughters.
We are chosen
to
grow up into the fulness of Him.
Ephesians
1:6 is saying that we are accepted by Him when we have rapport with
Him, and we have rapport when we
avail
ourselves of the opportunity that
was made possible.
He wants those that may be
in a relationship with Him to be in that relationship because they want
to be in it, their heart is to be in it. One is in a relationship with
God because they have come to see that this is really 'where it's all at',
and where it will continue to be 'all at', where all
one wants in life is now possible.
Some
angels thought differently.
By the
Holy
Spirit, we are God's children:.Galatians
4:6. Once a child of God you'll
always be in that nearness with the Father. We can now have a relationship
with Christ and the Father:.1John
1:2;
3:1,2.
Jesus is the mediator, through
which we also can have a relationship with the Father:.1Timothy
2:5; Hebrews 9:15. Jesus came
to do the Father's will:.Hebrews
10:9. God loves you and Jesus tells us why:.John
16:27. Part of the Father's will is revealing to us eternal
life:.John
17:3.
In the
times
you have with God, He brings things to your mind, guiding
and teaching us. Like with any relationship, the time spent together
increases intimacy.
The understanding of all
the promises being in Jesus Christ, is critical to your well
being here. Jesus wants us to know the Father as He does:.John
7:28,29; 8:55. To know the Father,
one has to know Jesus:.John
14:7. Jesus, while on earth, wanted people to know the Father as He
did:.John
12:49; 17:26;
1:18.
Many spiritual persons of
love (called 'Christians'
in the Holy Bible) relationship with God suffers because they still, and
unnecessarily so, hold on to guilt.
How can one be thankful to God while he is holding onto guilt?.Colossians
1:3; Ephesians 5:20; Romans
15:6.
This is sad, because under
the old covenant.(Deuteronomy
5:29), for most people, a spiritual relationship with God was not possible:.Hebrews
8:8-10; 10:16.
David,
however was one exception.
The Father sent Christ here;
to impute unto
us His righteousness so we would be just as holy,
perfect
and righteous in His eyes as He is Himself,
because God only deals with equals, so He made you
equal. So there is never a reason anymore to feel guilty.
Through
working
on the mind by thinking about what is the truth about you, guilt evaporates.
God wants relationships:.Ezekiel
36:25;
Romans 8:15. If we want
to know Him, we will be interested in what
John had to say regarding fellowship with Him.
Some
think God is the intelligent energy that prevails
the universe through His agent of expression, called the
Holy Nature or Holy Spirit. Others, that He looks different from man,
or perhaps, has no shape whatsoever.
About God's
appearance.
