In any relationship, there are two parts to a relationship. The first part is one person, and the second part is the other person. You need two people to have a relationship. Since we know that God wants a relationship, He is the first part or first person. We are the second part or second person and need to receive the first part or in the verse in revelations, we need to answer the door to let Him in. 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. Revelations 3:20. We need to accept God as our friend our savior, our lord, our king, our healer, and anything else you can think of that God is called we need to accept it. We need to as the verse says in Matthew 22:37 and it says, And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. We need to open the door and let Him In and then we need to love God with all heart, soul, and mind for this relationship to work.
This relationship is an all-in-or-nothing kind of relationship. In This relationship, you cannot be half in or half out or just sort of mere friends or a relationship like you say hi in passing or on the elevator. You have to be all in this relationship like it says in revelations, 15 “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. Revelations 3:15-16. we have to be hot for this relationship, if we are cold, we would not want this relationship. Fire shall be kept burning on the altar continually; it shall not go out. Leviticus 6:13. We know God meant this literally, but we can use it in our lives as an example to never let the fire burn in us for God to never go out.
What we are to do is very clear in this to have a relationship with God. Do you want to accept the relationship God wants to have with you?
