Bible Verses About God Desiring A Relationship With Us

Dear friends, now let’s explore what the Bible says about God desiring a relationship with us.

From the very beginning, God has yearned for closeness with His precious children. Though perfect community existed between the Father, Son, and Spirit, God’s love overflowed to create mankind so we could share in the divine fellowship.

Yet even when the sin of Adam and Eve constructed barriers between the holy Creator and His image-bearers, God set in motion His plan to tear down the dividing walls.

The Almighty declared through His prophets how He would make a new covenant, writing His law upon our hearts rather than tablets of stone. He foretold the coming Messiah who would reconcile wayward people back into right relationship.

In the fullness of time, Jesus came as Emmanuel – God with us – to restore what was lost. His atoning sacrifice made a way for humanity to know God intimately once again as beloved sons and daughters.

He gently tends our hearts, nurturing our spirits through His Word and Spirit. As we yield to the Shepherd’s invitation, coming home to His embrace, we discover who we truly are – not orphaned wanderers but His treasured children. What matchless love.

The Lord of all creation desires intimate communion with you and me. Shall we open our hearts wholly to Him today? Dear friends, Now let’s see Bible verses below .
