How We Can Reconcile and Restore Our Lost Relationship with God by FaithfulServant(m): 11:35am On May 20, 2017
Shortly after the very beginning of the creation of the world, we got disconnected eternally from God through disobedience by our early parents—Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) but I tell you the truth, the quickest and easiest way we can reconcile our lost friendship with Him is by total and strict obedience to Him by His Word, the Holy Bible. We got disconnected by disobedience, and we can only get reconnected by obedience (Romans 5:19).

God abhor disobedience but since the damage has already been made erroneously by Adam through Eve and deceived by Satan, He provided a solution and a way to reconcile us back to Him by working through men by His Spirit—the Holy Spirit, to put down all what is written in the scripture(2 Peter 1:21; 2 Timothy 3:16) .

History tells us that after God had provided a means for man to come to Him by obedience through the Bible, the devil knowing this, and because he does not want us to have any opportunity to go back to God just like his estranged self, He waged war against the Bible by working through some of his agents like Nero and others to ensure the Bible doesn’t spread. He killed most of the writers of the Bible—which was written under divine inspiration, except John (after several failed attempts) who later wrote the book of revelation by divine inspiration and through vision and trance.

He continued waging war against the Bible through a certain so called “church” when a law was erroneously stipulated that only certain trained persons should be allowed to read the Bible that was provided by God for everyone and anyone who was found with Bible was persecuted, tried or killed.

Even at that, the Bible and the gospel continued to spread like wild fire in it primordial period and devil after realizing that He had failed and cannot beat the Creator of wonders—God, he devised another strategy to devalue the Bible by enticing false teachers to himself with fake promises for wealth and material things to work for Him in propagating false teachings with the Bible so that people of God will not see the light and value in the Bible and will not take it seriously either (1 John 4:1-3).

But God is still in the very business, raising men like He did in the old to combat this evil work of the devil and they are scattered all over the world. Most of them are not known and they themselves don’t even desire to be known, but they do what they have been called to do quietly, all for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).

God’s Word is sealed and it’s final and cannot change no matter how we erroneously deny ourselves this fact, it still remains a fact (Matthew 24:35). We are left with two choices to either submit ourselves to Him and obey Him, or bear the damnable consequences for disobedience which Adam and Eve paid for, and which we ourselves are still paying for the same inherited disobedience dearly until this very day (Genesis 3:16,19).

It’s a fact that we can only come to God through Jesus (John 14:6), but this fact itself and everything else we need to know are all in the Bible because God didn’t leave us in the dark to destroy (Isaiah 45:19). It’s another fact that the Bible can only be well understood by divine inspiration through the Holy Spirit (John 14:26), but the Holy Spirit comes and starts working in us only when we decide in our heart to start obeying God though His Word (Ecclesiastes 12:13). For a start and if we don’t have the Holy Spirit yet, we should ask God for wisdom and understanding directly which He gives liberally to all who ask from a sincere heart from Him (James 1:5; Mark 11:24).

Every punctuation and everything else in the scriptures matter and should not be taken for granted. When we choose to obey God through His Word, we will not only reconcile ourselves back to Him, but we will save ourselves from His wrath on us to come that will lead to our eternal damnation and doom when we fail to meet the required demand of obedience which works repentance (Revelation 20:15).
