Friendship with God.

[Dalip Kumar Jacob]

God wants to be your friend and your relationship to God has many different aspects; God is your creator and Maker, Lord and Master, Judge, Redeemer, Father, Savior, and much more. But the most shocking truth is this ; Almighty God yearns to be your Friend! But we knew that being a human nature we failure to make good relation with God because of our sinful nature that is came from our " ADAM" the first man and Father  of mankind. In Eden we see God's ideal relationship with Adam and Eve and they were enjoyed an intimate friendship with God. There were no rituals, ceremonies, or religion- just a simple living relationship between God and Adam and his family. Unhindered by guilty or fear, Adam and Eve delighted in God , and He delighted in them.We were made to live in God's continual presence, but after the Fall, that Ideal relationship was lost, and Adam and Eve left from the presence of God, due to that Fall. Adan and Eve was sinner in eyes God, and God was unhappy because God created them Holy and sinless. but they were fallen in sin due to their physical lust and desires. They are parents of whole human generation and their sinful nature active in our nature, that's why we all are sinner. " For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23.

         Lord Jesus changed the situation, He came in this world with permission of God to save whole humanity, He paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available. " For the wages of sin is death,but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23. So death inter in this world through the fall of first man " Adam" and Eternal life inter in this world through the second man " Lord Jesus Christ." Through Christ we inter in God's presence, as His sons and daughters and He accepted us as His friends. So it is our moral duty to worship and adore him with whole hearted, we must grow a close relationship.
