Pursuing a relationship with Jesus Christ leads us closer to the Father. By accepting Jesus as our Savior and Lord, we allow both Him and the Father to take a prominent role in our lives. This central focus on them initiates a meaningful journey of understanding and connection with the living spirit of the Father. Such a profound relationship ignites in us a sincere desire to express gratitude and worship, recognizing that He alone can facilitate a transformative “born again” experience.
When we center our relationships and activities around Jesus, everything we engage in becomes influenced by the Father’s infinite love and grace. As we deepen our connection with Jesus, the Father (Abba) transforms our natural mindset into one that is spiritually enriched.
The question may arise, “How does this transformation take place?” It begins with a genuine invitation to Him into our hearts. This invitation prompts a change in our self-focused thoughts that typically center on “me.” In this new journey, He offers us fresh perspectives, empowers us to make better choices, renews our hearts, and strengthens us by revealing His Love and Grace. As expressed in John 3:30, it is essential that He must increase while I must decrease.
Having been freed from past rejections, I embrace my identity as one of His cherished children. I reflect my Father’s nature, understanding that I am born from above. I am becoming who He is and find joy in anticipating a vibrant relationship while remaining attuned to His voice in every moment.
