Do you have a personal relationship with God?
The beginning of true fellowship with God has to be an intimate, personal relationship with Christ. Without this relationship, you have no power or ability on your own, to fellowship with God.
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
Has the Holy Spirit shown you the truth of your sinful choices?“The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23).
Have you realized you are without hope, facing death — eternally seperated form God because of your sin?“He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24).
Do you understand that Jesus came to die on the cross to bear the penalty for your sin — That only His shed of blood is sufficient to meet God’s requirements for eternal life?“He who has the Son has the life” (1 John 5:12).
Do you see that eternal life is in the person of Jesus?“As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name” (John 1:12).
You may believe that Jesus live and died for you but have you received Him into your life as Savior and Lord?“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him” (Revelation 3:20).
Have you opened the door to your heart and life and invited Him to come into you?
If you have not invited Him into your life, now would be a wonderful time to simply pray and admit you have sinned. Thank Him for dying for your sins. Open the door to your heart and ask Him to come into you and be your Savior and Lord. It does not need to be a fancy prayer. A simple prayer will do.
