And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3
The true God is truly infinite, meaning He is totally outside of our world. Only He has no source, no beginning, and no end. God needs nothing, depends on nothing, and owes nothing. The concept of time is totally foreign to Him. He is “holy, holy, holy” — perfect in every way. Simply put, God is God, and we are not.
For some people, they cannot grasp the idea that this infinite God truly wants a relationship with them. Their lives have been filled with so much sin, how can a holy God even consider them? Psalm 8:4 But the Bible tells us, "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 None of us are deserving of His love and care. He loves us because we are His creation.
Others have understood God's love for them and received His forgiveness, but they struggle with the fact that God is interested in their daily lives. After all, why would the God that controls the universe care about my job, my finances, my family? It's because He loves us as individuals and not just as a mass of people. Abraham was called "the friend of God." Isaiah 41:8. Jesus called His disciples friends.
And God wants to be YOUR friend. He desires a personal relationship with each of us no matter our race, social standing, or financial status. So, why don't you talk with your "friend" today and seek His direction for your life?
