Why Does God Want a Relationship with You?

Have you ever wondered why God, who created the vast universe, would care about you personally? The answer is both simple and beautiful: God created you out of love and desires a close relationship with you.

In Genesis 1:27, the Bible tells us, “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” This verse reveals that you are not just a creation but a masterpiece, made to reflect God's love and to enjoy a personal connection with Him.

In the midst of life’s journey, Jesus extends a personal invitation to each of us—a call to know Him intimately and to walk with Him daily. As stated in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me” (ESV). This is Jesus inviting you to open your heart to Him, to let Him into your life, and to build a meaningful relationship.

A relationship with Jesus brings true joy, peace, and purpose into our lives. Jesus said in John 10:10, “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” He offers a life that is rich and fulfilling, far beyond what the world can offer.

You might feel hesitant to take that first step toward Jesus, but Hebrews 9:27 reminds us that our time here is short: “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.” This moment is your opportunity to accept His gift of salvation. Jesus invites you in John 14:6, saying, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” He is waiting to forgive, heal, and guide you.

To embrace this invitation, Romans 10:9 shows us how: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved” (ESV). It’s about trusting Jesus with your life and following His teachings.

When you enter into a relationship with Jesus, you become a new creation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come” (ESV). Jesus offers you a fresh start and helps you become a better version of yourself.

The Bible also tells us that “now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2). Don’t wait until it’s too late. Embrace this moment to know God and live the life He offers.

If you’re ready to start this new journey with Jesus, say this simple prayer:

“Dear Lord Jesus, I believe you are the Son of God. I confess I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I accept you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for your gift of salvation. In Jesus' name, Amen.”
