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, Jesus said, thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy Soul, and with all thy mind (38) This is the first and great commandment. Your growing love for God will lead you to obey His commandment. John 14:21, He that hat 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.

How can you grow in your relationship with Jesus? communication is vital to any relationship. There are Four 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 the Inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for refroof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness (17) 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. These verses tell us we can pray about everything. When we pray according to His will, He hears us and answers us. Thanking God is also a part of praying. Philippians 4:6-7, Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (7) and the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall Keep your heatrs and minds through Christ Jesus. 1John 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 (15) And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him. 1 Thess 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 Thing 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. It is important to spend time with other Christians to encourage each other, to love, and do good. 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. Bible studies and other Meetings are also helpful.( The church that teaches The Word of God, the Bible has full and final authorithy). Hebrews 10:24-25, And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works (25). Not forsaking the ssembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exorting one another,: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. --- We communicate with others who dont know God personally by sharing about our relationship with Jesus ( soul-winning). Matthew 28: 19-20, Go ye therefore,, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost(20). Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo. I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen!
