Jas 4:5 (ESV) Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, "He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us"? Born again believers make particular emphasis on man’s relationship with God. Perhaps this is one understanding that brings together the majority of the many Christian denominations. I believe that the relationship God wants to establish with man, the manner in which He wants to establish it, is not different from the way people build relationships. The husband and wife for example, before they became spouses went through that stage of courtship where normally the man tries to win the woman’s heart. Basically, what the man is trying to do at this stage is to win the woman’s trust. I believe this is also what God wants to develop in us: confidence and trust. And this is basically what faith is. To have faith in God is to trust and have confidence in God. The very foundation of any relationship is trust. And trust is not so
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. First you will find the way, then the truth, then you will find life. Life is the ultimate destination.
