Our actions must line up with the Word of God. This is the only way to show that we believe in God and His Word. When we practice the Word of God we are building on a solid rock foundation. A foundation that cannot be shaken or broken. The reason many of us are easily phased by the storms of life is that we are not well-rooted in the Word of God. Our roots become stronger when we act on God's Word...

Consistently attending a bible believing church creates an atmosphere where we can motivate one another to keep growing deeper in our fellowship with God. #Faith #Church #Christian #Jesus #God #Bible

Hebrews 11 shows us clearly that faith is very integral to our fellowship with God. Abel’s sacrifice was accepted by God because of his faith. Enoch walked with God by faith. Noah found favour in God’s sight and received the warning of impending destruction because of his faith. Without faith, fellowship with God is impossible. Today, Paul tells us that we have the same spirit of faith as these Ol...

Faith is the foundation for our fellowship with God. Without faith, there can be no intimacy with God. Today, faith is still important in our fellowship with God. when we approach the Bible, we must approach it with faith, we must believe that it is God speaking to us. Faith is believing that what God says is true and that it will come to pass in your life.

Many Believers have not developed the habit of reading their bibles. This is because they have not seen the benefit of doing so. Jesus used the phrase “have you not read in the scriptures?” to suggest to His listeners how important reading the scriptures is to understanding spiritual truth.

God and His Word are one. If we spend time with the Word of God, we are spending time with God. Developing intimacy with God requires the same deliberate action on our part as is required in developing intimacy with people.

To build intimacy with God, we must pay attention to the Word of God. We must ensure that we give it our full, undivided attention. The Word of God must take center stage in our heart, in our daily lives and in everything we do. We must put the Word of God first.
