Chapter 1

Spiritual Maturity

––––––––

W

e will begin this book by getting you to find your way in God through a spiritual maturity. As Christians grow in spiritual maturity, we hunger for an intimate relationship with Jesus, but at the same time we feel confused over how to go about it.

How do you get closer to the invisible God? How do you hold a conversation with someone who doesn't audibly talk back? This is the question that seems to be on all new Christian's lips.

Our confusion begins with the word "intimate," which has become cheapened because of our culture's obsession with sex. The essence of an intimate relationship, especially with Jesus, requires sharing. I want you to consider a relationship with God is similar to sharing your deepest thought with the one you love. It is much like a romance.

The Gospels are remarkable books. Even though they are not exhaustive biographies of Jesus of Nazareth, they give us a compelling portrait of him. If you read those four accounts carefully, you will come away knowing the secrets of his heart. The more you study Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, the better you'll understand Jesus. When you meditate on his parables, you'll discover the love, compassion, and tenderness that flow from him. As you read about Jesus healing people thousands of years ago, you begin to grasp that our Living God can reach out from heaven and touch your life today. Through reading God's Word, your relationship with Jesus begins to take on new and deeper significance. Are you getting this? Spending time in God's Word will open up the sharing of God's heart to yours.

Jesus revealed his emotions. He got angry at injustice, showed concern about a hungry crowd of his followers, and cried when his friend Lazarus died. But the greatest thing is how you, personally, can make this knowledge of Jesus your own. He wants you to know him.

What sets the Bible apart from other books is that through it, God speaks to individuals. The Holy Spirit unfolds Scripture so it becomes a love letter written specifically to you. The more you desire relationship with Jesus, the more personal that letter becomes.

When you are intimate with someone else, you trust them enough to share your secrets. As God, already knows everything about you anyway, but when you choose to tell him what's hidden deep within you, it proves you trust him. This is sharing.

Trust is hard. You've probably been betrayed by other people, and when that happened, maybe you swore you'd never open up again. But Jesus loved you and trusted you first. He laid down his life for you. That sacrifice has earned him your trust.

Many of my secrets are sad, and maybe yours are too. It hurts to bring them up again and give them to Jesus, but that is the path to intimacy. If you want the closest of relationships with Jesus, you have to risk opening your heart. There's no other way. As you open your heart up to God by sharing you will feel His love through the friendship with Him.

When you share yourself in relationship with Jesus, when you talk to him often and step out in faith, he will reward you by giving you more of himself. Stepping out takes courage, and it takes time. Held back by our fears, we can move beyond them only through the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.

At first you may notice no difference in your connection with Jesus, but over weeks and months, Bible verses will take on new meaning for you. The bond will grow stronger. In small doses, life will make more sense. Gradually you will sense that Jesus is there, listening to your prayers, answering through Scripture and promptings in your heart. There will be a sureness that will come upon you that something wonderful is happening.

Jesus never turns away anyone who seeks him. He will give you every help you need to build an intense, intimate relationship with him.

When two people are intimate, they don't need words. Husbands and wives, as well as best friends, know the pleasure of simply being together. They can enjoy each other's company, even in silence. A husband will know things his wife is thinking just by a certain look.

We glorify God by loving and serving him, and we can do that better when we have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, his Son. As an adopted member of this family, you possess the right to enjoy your Father God and your Savior as well.

You were meant for intimacy with Jesus. It is your most important calling now, and for eternity. God will truly change your life through His son Jesus Christ.

Chapter Two

A Deeper Relationship

––––––––

I

know it may seem difficult to get to know God in a deeper way. I have to tell you God is calling you to a deeper relationship today. With the Holy Spirit directing your life, you will experience a deeper relationship with God and you will grow in your ability to trust Him.

What does it mean to grow in your relationship with Jesus? Growing in your relationship with Jesus means to know Him better, to love and obey Him more. This also means living your life and with the help of the Holy Spirit you can be like Jesus.

John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

Matthew 22:37, 38 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

Your growing love for God will lead you to obey His commandments.

John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

Just as it's natural for a child to grow in a loving relationship with a parent, it is also natural for you to grow in your love relationship with God.

How can you grow in your relationship with Jesus?

Communication is vital to any relationship. Several aspects of communication will help you develop your relationship with Jesus.

God communicates with us through the Bible, revealing His character and His will.

2 Timothy 3:16, 17 All scripture

is

given by inspiration of God, and

is

profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

We communicate with God through prayer, sharing our thoughts, our needs and our desire to do his will.

Philippians 4:6, 7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

1 John 5:14, 15 And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

These verses tell us we can pray about everything. When we pray according to God's will, he hears us and answers us. Thanking God is also part of praying.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

·  We communicate with Christians through fellowship, encouraging and building up one another.

·  Hebrews 10:24, 25 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

It is important to spend time with other Christians to encourage each other to love and do good. I'm talking about those who live a life for God more than just on Sundays. We need to share our Christian experience with others who love God, and likewise allow them to share with us. God appoints the church as a place for us to meet other Christians and learn about God.

·  We communicate with others who don't know God personally by sharing about our relationship with Jesus. Acts 4:12

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Set aside a time and place for daily personal Bible study and prayer. A good book to begin with is the New Testament Book of John. As you read, underline verses you find particularly meaningful. Pray and ask God to show you who He is and how you can respond to Him.

As you rely on the Holy Spirit for power, read the Bible, pray, spend time with other believers and tell people about Jesus, God will produce His character in you and you will mature spiritually.

·  Keys to spiritual growth:

·  Understanding your relationship with Jesus

·  Experiencing God's love and forgiveness

·  Power for living a dynamic Christian life

Chapter Three

Important Decisions

––––––––

W

hen you become a Christian, from the very start you will find yourself with many important decisions. A personal relationship with Jesus is the most important decision you could ever make in your life. It is unlike any other relationship. Jesus will be with you every step of the way. When you step out of this life and into eternity if you do not have this relationship, you will spend eternity apart from Him.

So, if you will allow us, we'd like to tell you how you can come into a personal relationship with Jesus.

God desires a personal relationship with you. God created you. And He didn't just create you to exist all alone and apart from Him. He created you with a view to coming into a personal relationship with Him.
