Relationship with God is the most important thing we can have. It is God's number one priority with us and it is to be ours with Him. However, to make sure that this relationship is the most rewarding and the most fulfilling it is essential to have the right perspective of God. Here I will talk about just a couple of important attributes:
God is always seeking to remove every barrier that stands between us and God. God's grace breaks through every barrier, every obstacle in order to break into our lives.Whether it is barriers that we ourselves are putting up or barriers that other people are putting up God's grace is sufficient to break through. In this story the barrier was condemnation. But then as now Jesus stands up to every voice that accuses and brings grace and offers restoration and hope. God's grace is always pouring out on us, His arms are always stretched out toward us. Intimate loving relationship with us is the most important thing to Him. God's grace meets us exactly where we are. We don't have to perform any better to meet Him, we don't have to pretend we are, somewhere that we are not. He knows us completely and He accepts us completely. His grace is stronger than any force that seeks to disconnect.
Furthremore, God is faithful. He will never leave us nor forsake us. He will always fight for us, He will never give up on us, even when we give up on ourselves.
To get a better perspective of God we must look only to his word to see who He is and not let our experience of dealing with people taint this view. God is holy. God is pure. He is totally trustworthy.Totally good. The more we meditate on these truths the better our perspective of God will be and hence the better our relationship with Him will be.
