Likewise, do we have a relationship with God or Jesus?
Jesus calls us “friend” in the Bible (John 15:15). A relationship with Him is a relationship of intimacy and security, of being totally known and totally accepted. It is not a relationship of equals, however. Jesus is fully God as well as fully man, and as such He remains Lord of heaven and Earth.
The greatest way to create and maintain a relationship with anyone, including God, is through communication, and we use prayer to communicate with God. God wants to hear from you, and He is always available to listen.
