Love, faith, and good works can build and deepen man’s relationship with God. I try to maintain a good relationship with God, and in doing so, I try to be respectful to those around me, not lie, be merciful and help those in need with what I can. I also have respect for priests who are God’s intermediaries on earth.
How can I rebuild my relationship with God?
To rebuild your relationship with God, you must start believing in Him again. Also, you have to:
- Have a disciplined prayer life.
- Read the Bible for a year.
- What you study from the Bible, teach others. That way, you will want to learn even more.
- Learn only what the Bible says, nothing foreign to it.
- Establish a discipline of study in your family.
- Have short days so you can search your heart.
God can fully and permanently satisfy our hunger and thirst for righteousness, but He wants to see effort and passion on our part. We must meet this need, which will manifest in our efforts. Here are some concrete things we need to do while seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first.
God addressed each individual. In the same way, in the end, each one will give a personal account before Him. This idea is also found in the book of Jeremiah.
You shall seek Me and find Me if you seek Me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13 (NIV)
We can draw closer and near to God by obeying Him and praying. God welcomes Himself to anyone who wants to come to Him. He also holds the person who has never believed in Him and wants to go to Him, also welcomes the Christian who has thought to but, for one reason or another, has lost his faith and is now looking for God again. He even includes those who write God in small letters or, out of laziness, God instead of God, as is typical.
God is full of goodness. When it comes to God’s nearness, no one should disdain it. If we have fallen into unbelief, we must rise. We must never disbelieve. We must grow, come to God again with all our hearts, and He will receive us.
It is usually in trouble that man seeks closeness to God. When all goes well, we sometimes forget God. We turn away, trusting in our strength and the deceitfulness of thoughts telling us we will not fall from now on. But when trouble strikes, when everyone leaves us, when we encounter suffering, we look to God to come to our aid and give us what our heart desires. Then we seek to find out how to draw closer to God.
What does sin do to our relationship with God?
Sin builds us a brick every time it succeeds, and we fall prey to it. It makes a bridge between us and God and tears down all that God has created with us. Sin is the knowing and willful transgression of God’s will by thought, word, or deed. And because God’s will is revealed in His laws, sin is also called transgression. The Christian must fight against covetousness through temperance, fasting, and prayer.
The love of silver breeds insatiable lust that stirs up passions, leading to deceit, theft, lying, falsely swearing, injustice, oppression of the poor, and estrangement from God. “Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be,” says the Saviour (Matthew 6:21). It sometimes ends in suicide or death for the one who has glued his heart to his wealth, as in the case of Judas, who sold the Saviour for 30 pieces of silver.
From fornication spring: impure thoughts, destruction of family life, and disregard for the needs of others. Therefore the fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God.
From the sin of covetousness are born: lust of the flesh, unholy revelry, selfishness, slandering one’s neighbor, exploiting him, quarreling, anger, various diseases, darkening of the mind, loss of honor, disregard for holy things, and all kinds of transgressions.
