Relationship Between God And Relationship With God

A personal relationship is one where your personal life and extra curricular activities and social life are involved.

Christianity claims that 2,000 years ago God the son came to the earth to reveal the father to us and then die to save us from our sins. This claim needs to be further elaborated. God the son; Jesus Christ came to earth to remove sin from the lives of people so that he could come into the lives of those who were ready to accept him into their heart and transform them. The relationship with God is based entirely upon the relationship with Jesus.

A relationship is according to Dictionary.com, “an emotional or other connection between people” (Dictionary.com 1). Everybody has relationships with other people. Some are good and healthy relationships, and others are not. Some relationships have good and bad moments. That type of relationship is the type that Huckleberry Finn and Jim have in Mark Twain’s, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain published this novel, that takes place in the Deep South, in 1884, only a few years after the Civil War ended and slavery was outlawed. The purpose of this novel is for Twain to explain to the south how society can shape how anyone thinks and also the effects of slavery. One of Twain’s main themes in this novel is the extreme

No emotion has such universal meaning as love. It is an integral part of the human condition. Love is the basis for by which all other emotions can be gauged. Friendship and even grief are steeped in love. Love is so central to our lives that it is fitting and proper that it should be the topic of so much discussion. Every culture and every writer has some commentary or evaluation of love. The New Testament has its share of love commentary. The entire basis of the Christian tradition is God's love for humanity. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son." (John 3:6) Jesus preached a great deal about love of neighbor, love of God and even love of enemies. (Matt 5:44) Shakespeare's Biblical knowledge is well known and he

A bond between two human beings who have some sort of a connection is called a relationship. Typically, it would be for deep personal reasons. It could also be a need that your body is asking for and it won’t stop bothering you. Multiple reasons can drive a human being into a relationship, and I think we all jump into it hoping we are making the right decision. The results that could be discovered can completely change someone's life for the better or for the worst. A relationship is something that should be taken seriously and should mean something significant because it could lead to unnecessary and detrimental influences not only for the ones in the relationship but to society as well.

The dictionary defines relationship as a state of being connected by blood or marriage. Relationships share memories and make it important that both partners are on the same page. In the two novels, The Lovers Dictionary by David Levithan and This is How you Lose Her by Junot Diaz, the narrators’ perspectives on relationship is unique to each of the characters story, yet draws a similar map of hot and cold intimate moments. Both novels have a downfall through a lack of affection, but differ in the way they communicate with one another.

Having relationships is common and natural. People interact daily so the formation of new relationships is unavoidable(Welch). C. Welch created good questions concerning human nature and relationships like, “Should we conform or be original?” “What is the best way to live together?” and “How do we deal with death?” The questions about life can also be used in literature. There are many basic questions that could be ask to find out the main theme, why it is the theme, and what other less important themes are when dealing with relationships in stories(Welch). Relationships are important enough that some stories are based almost solely on relationships.

1. Based on the course material, how “just” is the world and the relationship that exists between man and god that is envisioned in the different myths you have read? Based on the course material there's a hierarchy in the world where gods are above all human kind due to the fact they created them for the purpose to serve. For instance, in the "Enuma Elish" myth it's widely expressed the gods created the human race. The gods are divided up into two groups younger and older gods. Each group shared the interest of having the human kind worship them and become loyal servants. In this myth, gods are viewed above humans and humans are viewed to be beneath gods. In fact, they're viewed in the lowest form possible and shed in a very good light in relation to the gods. This is the first aspect of where we see hierarchy in the world and unjust world. Another example of this is suggested in this myth when the gods comment on how unjust the humans are to each other. In fact, in this myth, the humans are so unjust and unruly towards each other that the gods contemplate what to do with them. As a result, the humans were flooded by the gods. Also in the Enuma Elish, the relationship that exists between man and god is as I mentioned before man was meant to be a lowly, worshipping servant and the gods were to be high, powerful, mighty, and worshipped with great importance. In several other myths such as the Sumerian version of this one, the concept is similar. Both versions are similar in

As it was out of love that God sent his son into the world, so it is by love that the ultimate demonstration of love, (Christ’s sacrifice,) finds its motivation (John 3:16, 15:13). To love the oppressor one must begin with forgiveness. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote that true forgiveness results in the proper forgetfulness of the wrong inflicted- not to erase the wrong from his mind, but to no longer hold to it as an impediment in a relationship. Additionally, to love is to uphold in good faith, the belief that there is goodness even in our worst enemy. Agape love at its essence, is merciful as God is merciful. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, “love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.”

A covenant is a contractual relationship between two parties, usually a king and his followers. The covenant relationship between God and the people of Israel is strong. God makes covenants with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For these covenants to be strong there needs to be loyalty and faithfulness on both sides. The Mishnah emphasizes this relationship in many of the texts, this relationship is most emphasized in the sections of prayer and festivals.

He loves us with a complete and free heart which is what we should be striving to do. If we are to desire an intimate relationship with Christ, we need to get to know what upsets God and what makes Him happy. Christians go wrong by thinking that God is all brain and no heart or that he is a judge that wants to use His power against us. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and felt very comfortable with the humanity of Jesus. Eldridge mentions that the bottom line premise for Jesus’ anger in the temple was that Jesus gets upset with the religious people because there should be no obstacles between God the Father and His church.

The relation between nature (phusis) and God (theos) in early Greek philosophy is almost one in the same. Homer and Hesoid were the first Greek philosophers to make the connection between God and nature. They made connections to the birth of nature simultaneously being the “birth” of the gods and thus, forever connecting the two. Homer also gave the idea that Ocean is the creator of all gods and things in the world which goes with Thales monist worldview of that basic nature was created by one element, water. For ancient Greek philosophy, gods are seen as everything including nature and so, nature is divine. As with nature being divine the Greeks not only worship the supernatural anthropomorphic gods but also nature.

In the sphere of world literature the exploration into the real nature of the relationship between the mortals and the divines has always been an important subject. In myths across the globe, the mortal-divine relationship has been a recurrent theme. But it must be noted that different cultures have conveyed through their myths the different ideologies which actually, in the course of time, have shaped and reshaped the concept of human-god relationships. But considering the progress in plots in some of the celebrated myths depicted in some epical writings, one thing can be ascertained – in the context of the mortal-divine relationship if, on one hand, the power of the divine has been considered supreme to that of the mortals then, on the other hand, the power of the humans has also been considered independent and the humans have depicted to be the maker and re-maker of their own destinies challenging the hindrances put by gods.

Relationships are an overarching theme in the lives of everyone here on earth and beyond. They not only predict how our lives will in part proceed each day, they predict our happiness. The key to our happiness is our relationships with God and others. When relationships are based on love, as they should be, the individuals in that relationship will feel fulfilled, whereas negative social relationships such as broken or divorced couples will be huge sources of stress. Any relationship either between two or more people, or between an individual and God, has to based on love in order for that relationship to thrive.

What I have gathered from each of these medieval writer is that they have strong understanding of who God truly is. Each writer express that the greatest love has to be toward God initially. Furthermore, each writer proclaims that the believer has to have some understanding of self. Also, each writer seems to have some unique encounter with God, to understand who and how God is. It is my understanding that each writer came to have a relationship with God either through some type of dialogue or some type of experience. This seems to be vital in establishing a relationship with God.
