How To Have A Relationship With God Without Church. Of course, jesus paid the price for your sins with his blood, (if you are willing to accept his gift), so he will not stand between you and god—he allows you to stand before god. They pray to him, read his word, and meditate on verses in an effort to get to know him even better.
Therefore, you can remove all the “helpers” between you and god (except jesus), making the relationship a lot more personal. They pray to him, read his word, and meditate on verses in an effort to get to know him even better. If we accept this gift, we have become acceptable to god and can have a relationship with him.
In orthodox christianity, the personal relationship with god is everything, but it is not conceived in terms of jesus being your buddy, which is what a lot of us hear (fairly or not) in the phrase.
A relationship is something people feel and is interactive. The church’s precepts do not mention reading scripture or developing one’s prayer life, but pope benedict and pontiffs before and after him have exhorted us to do these things. No human ritual, deed, or sacrifice can provide payment or absolution for our sins. If you want to have a normal relationship with god, then your heart must turn to god.
