Relationship Guideline with Christ
What I believe is God gives us a model makeup with our loved ones as to how he wants his relationship to be with us. He gave us a family to model how close knit we should be with him. He gave us a love for our spouse to signify what he wants when it comes to intimacy, where it's just you and your spouse alone one on one time. He gave you the childhood to signify what it's like in the baby stages of life when you need discipline and to be taught the key fundamentals of life before you become into to the meat of God’s word. He gave us adulthood to know what the meat of the word looks like when we understand life more with wisdom and discernment. He gave us children to signify how to raise one up in the way in they should go as the Lord would position us into our calling. He gave a man a family to know the order of authority that signifies how God will provide, lead, and protect. He gave a woman a family to signify the nurture, care, and love for her family like Jesus does for the Bride of Christ.
Our relationship is nothing short of honoring His commandments, being a servant in His Kingdom. Praying one on one intimate time and reading the Bible. That quiet one on one time where he can speak to you. It’s the pureness in the walk where you get to a point where you want and yearn to respect God in what he asks of us. It’s about honoring and being bold and watching what you allow into your spirit so that you can remain pure in him so that Yeshua will recognize you as his Bride to be. It’s that relationship where love is deep within your heart, and you want to share it with all that will receive. It’s that relationship that is very understanding to give enough grace and mercy if we fall short because he understands our nature as being born in sin. And as a saving grace gave us his son as a living sacrifice to lay our short comings on him as the redeemer of our sins.
This relationship is nothing about religion but a lifestyle that takes the sinful nature out and places love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. There is a reason why love is placed at the beginning of the 9 fruits of the spirit in Galatians 5:22. It is because God is love and when we abide in him as the greatest commandment, he can than abide in us. Love is the foundation of a relationship, so we must address love first in order to know the order in which a relationship is formulated. Loving God makes you not want to sin, loving God makes you identify with who you are, who is leading and who to trust. It’s nothing short of a lifestyle process, however it’s a process with great benefits. You receive love, joy, peace, and a sound mind. What better way than to wake up daily knowing that you will receive eternal life and can live your life through love, joy, peace and a sound mind. A relationship is all God requires of us. Not a religion.
