Where Are You in Christ?

There are three stages of relationship in our Christian journey.

a) A man-God relationship started when a man accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.  His eyes are opened to see God and his mind can perceive the Word of God and his will incline to godly life.  He started to delight in learning Christian language and sharing spiritual issues with others.  Then he will start praying to God and read the Bible.  He love God because of his salvation and other blessings. However, when blessing stop and troubles start calling the love toward God becomes cold.  This is the sign of a baby or young Christan.

b) A Christian started father-son relationship when the fear of God become reverent fear instead of awful dread.

This is the stage where the person focus on God's face instead of His hand, upon the 'Blesser' and not the blessing.  He knows God's love and starts to serve God and share with others about His love, not merely His gifts.

c) friendship with God

A man who is in courtship can easily give up everything and die for his beloved lover, but, not necessarily for his friends.  The power of love can make a man die for his loved one.  Likewise when God's beauty captures your heart, you are willing to die and can easily die to yourself.  Loving courtship will eventually bring a person to marriage.  In marriage, both husband and wife can share their resources and die for each other.  It is because there are one. This is the husband-wife relationship

You cannot force yourself to marry God but you can always start by calling God your father and friend and wait for Him to approach you to marry Him.

John 14:20 On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
