How can one begin a relationship with God?

Question

and also how can one be sure that god truly exists?

Answer 1

God/Jesus knows your heart, so if you are truly desiring to have a relationship with Him, He knows it even before you ask Him. Pray to God thru Jesus, as His Word tells us that we need to go to the Son to get to the Father. Accept the truth God has given us in His Word that He wants to save us from the penalty of our sins and made this possible thru the death of His Son, Jesus who died for us so that we may live eternally with Him forever in Heaven. God/Jesus will confirm His existence to you in your heart and you WILL know thru the Holy Spirit that will indwell you. Pray and study God's Word - this is how you get to know Him. Jesus is standing at your hearts door desiring you to ask Him into your heart. Do not listen to the world that denies all this. You will answer for yourself when you are judged. God bless!

Answer 2

To have a relationship with anybody it takes fellowship. You can't have a relationship with anyone if you don't have fellowship with them it is impossible. The same goes with God. Now you said how do you know that He exist. So the next question is how can you fellowship with someone that you don't see or know. Well the bible tells us the scriptures are inspired by God (II Timothy 3:16, II Peter 1:20-21). So when you read the bible you are having fellowship with God. And the word of God says in James 4:8 Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh to you. So the answer to your question is read His word, and pray. Your prayer should be, God I'm seeking you and you said seek and you shall find (Matthew 7:7), now God help my unbelief. As you continue to seek Him, He will reveal Himself to you. May God enter into your life in a mighty way in Jesus name!

Answer 3

first of all, go to HIM in prayer, tell HIM your desire for a personal relationship. you know, this is HIS desire for you as well. get a KJV (not a NKJV) bible and begin reading in genesis and read straight through (dont skip around) to the end then start over again. dont worry about how much you read on any given day, just be sure to read EVERY day. before you open the bible each day, ask GOD to teach you and guide you and keep you from self wisdom and understanding, then trust completely that HE will. you will begin to relearn GOD if you have grown up in a church, because the things that GOD will teach you, you will discover doesnt agree with what the churches of today teach. GOD calls the catholic church a whore and the rest of todays churches are her daughters, the harlots. GOD is the only one qualified to teach what HE inspired to be written...and HE is calling HIS chosen out of the churches....is HE calling you?

Answer 4

You start a relationship with God by reading the Word of God, the Bible. Start with the Book of John. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1). Next, talk to God and ask Him to reveal Himself to you. You have to develop a prayer life. In your private time with God, reading the word of God you will begin a relationship with Him. I hope that you have confessed with your mouth and believed in you heart that God raised Jesus from dead. Receive salvation confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. If you do these things and take time to get to know Him you will develop a relationship. Remember you have to believe that God exist by faith. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).

Answer 5

By talking to Him (prayer) and by reading the Bible. If anyone truly seeks Him, He is not hard to find, and He will confirm to you His existence, by the Holy Spirit. You can truly know that God is real and His word is true. We are not required to go on blind faith, as many believe.

Answer 6

The light that shines in my consciousness and the life that makes my heart beat is my self-evident proof that there is God. No one on earth can duplicate that feat in case the light of life withdraws from my flesh that came from the dust. The power of my God is so abundantly available that many people could hardly notice and recognize its true value. It is like water that is more than 90 % of my body. Water can only be appreciated very well in the dessert. It is also like the sun. We miss the sun in winter. Seeing is believing? Nope. Believing is seeing. Open your eyes and see? Nope. Close your eyes, think and feel. We can only see God if we believe. That is the covenant.

You can start your relationship with God every morning. If not now, when? Thank him for the life and for everything you need in order to live: oxygen, sunshine, rain, wisdom, parents, brothers, friends, teachers, etc. I have even started to thank him for sending me my enemies and all the unlovable people around. Now I believe they are here to teach me how to love and forgive. Thanks be to God and his only Son Jesus the Christ. How can we expect God to give us more when we do not even appreciate what He has given us before we could ask. Do you enjoy giving to people who do not appreciate it? Thank you for asking this question.

Answer 7

Just pray to him. It doesn't have to be formal....it can just be like talking to a friend. You can even tell him that you're not sure whether he exists, but that you want to know him. (He won't be offended :) He will begin to reveal himself to you in ways that may be very subtle or may be very obvious. (It's different for different people) As this begins to happen, you will eventually feel more certain of his existence , even if you still can't "prove" it and may have moments of doubt from time to time. Best wishes to you !

Answer 8

Through Christ and Christ alone.

Noe amount of evidence can Proove God to anyone...

you must choose to believe that God, in His infinant Scientific wisdom, created the universe...

Or that Nothing, decided to explode from nothing, and it created laws, atoms, light, and all things.... via oddless chance...Then mushed a bunch of atoms into the perfect sequences to make DNA, which made life, which reproduced and made better life... to create self beings that are self aware(Not neccesary for Darwinian Survival)... All by mere oddless chance...


So you tell me, who uses more faith?

Things don't get better, they get worse: for example...

Cars rust
the Greek Langauge had thousands of words for "love".... the English has one...
People grow old and die...

The Universe is expanding to more and more disorder...


One may adapt, yes, .... but one cannot evolve to have gills to breath under water....

Huge amounts of time doesn't change that fact...

DNA doesn't get new information... it can only loose it... or re arange it...

Usually the only mutations there are are Birth Defects... which are bad.... not good...



But you can believe in whatever you want to believe.... in whatever you consider..."Science"


To tell you the Truth... the Theory of Evolution is only so widely accepted... because it is the alternative of believing in God.



But belief in God is not enough for knowing God,.... you can know about God....

but if you want to know God personally... you need to accept Christ as your Savior and confess your sins to Him.

Becasue only Christ is the mediator between God and men.

Only he bore your punishment for the sins you have done...

and only he can enable you to know God.

Answer 9

Like any other relationship. It's starts with a little eye-contact in some bar. Later you exchange phonenumbers. Well, I'll leave the rest to God and you.

Answer 10

First step is to be sincere and truthful with yourself. God said, "If you take one step towards me, I will take several steps towards you. If you crawl towards me, I will run towards you."

Although we cannot see God, you will know God exist just like we know wind exists when it blows gently on your face. The sign of establishing a relationship with God is when you start experiencing serenity and internal tranquility.

It is said that asking about God means you have taken the initial step towards that relationship.
