Why God Is Important In Our Lives

Today many people are focused on money, fame, and power yet don’t see anything wrong with it. However, it is only when something drastic happens in their lives that they see that these things don’t matter because life is more important. When we encounter hardships and no one is able to help us, we cry out to God. God is our last resort. If you ever recall a time in your life when you thought that there was no way out of a situation, or there was no cure for your sickness, God does hear us and helps us. God doesn’t want us to rely on Him only when we are in trouble but He wants us to have a relationship with Him.

When we receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are inviting the Lord into our lives. God sends the Holy Spirit to help guide us and to teach us what we need to know in order to do the work God purposed us to do. When we seek God’s kingdom first and are righteous in our deeds, God blesses us abundantly. Blessings can be good health, healthy relationships with those around us, or feeling fulfilled when we do God’s work. When we put God first, he makes things go smoothly in our lives because God is in control. 

While many people continue to believe that their lives will be better with material wealth, they eventually realize that money does not buy happiness. Happiness comes from having the peace of God inside of you. When you have a relationship with God, you will feel His peace. No matter what difficulties you might be experiencing in your life, you are calm because you know God is with you.  Jesus’ birth name was Immanuel which means “God with us” (Matthew 1:23, NIV). When you have Jesus in your heart, God is with you. This is God’s peace.

There are Christians whose spiritual walk with God are at a standstill. They do not realize that faith alone is not enough; they need to step up to do God’s work and to be guided by the Holy Spirit. Whether this means helping out at your local church, doing outreach in the community or going on a missions trip, these are all examples of God working through us to share His love. When we do God’s work, we do it to glorify God. He enables us to do the things that He purposed us to do through Christ no matter what our limitations are.

Finding God's Peace and Love

Jesus Christ died on the cross for humanity's sins. He is our bridge to having a relationship with God the Father. By accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you will have eternal salvation and draw closer to God. Almighty God is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit who form the Holy Trinity.

This God wants a personal relationship with you. When you submit your will to God, you are giving up your reins to have God guide you in the form of the Holy Spirit in all aspects of your life. Otherwise without God in your life, you will never be truly satisfied.

Many people never ever find true happiness, joy or fulfillment because they do not have a relationship with God. Often people think it can be found in material success, in human relationships and even in positions of authority. But the truth is there is no peace without God in our lives. 

God knows what is best for us because he loves us unconditionally. There are many examples of God working in people’s lives. For example, through Oprah Winfrey’s belief in Jesus Christ, she found God’s peace and was blessed by God. Justin Bieber’s belief in Jesus Christ helped him to find God’s peace and he was blessed also. Ted Williams, a homeless man blessed with a great radio voice, believed in Jesus Christ and he too found God’s peace and was blessed by God. 

God has a purpose for all of us. Sometimes we don’t know what that purpose is because God times everything. We develop our skills and talents throughout our lives because God wants us to succeed. God’s word tells us that we can do nothing without Christ who strengthens us. He has a purpose for each and every one of us even though we might not know what that purpose is. He is always guiding us so that one day we will find ourselves doing what he created us to do.

So when you find yourself at a standstill in your life, speak to God through prayer and seek His advice. He will never steer you wrong. He knows what is best for you and what you need. So without a relationship with God, you are bound to fail because you are trying to do things on your own. Our reliance on God is crucial in order to receive His blessings in our lives.
