It is a new year. We make choices everyday but there is a choice we must not fail to make. That is to have a personal relationship with God.
What does it mean to have a personal relationship with God? This means to commune with God in our personal lives and walk with him, everyday of our lives. We should pray to God fervently and study the Holy Bible as it is the manual of life. Nevertheless, we must continue to be with God as He is the Creator of our lives.
In Romans 8:38-39, it is written that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, not even death nor life.
If we do not accept God into our lives, it will create room for the devil to take charge of us. This is not our destiny at creation. God is supposed to rule over our lives, then, when we die, we will go up to Heaven to be with Him forever.
Therefore, it is important for everyone to have a personal relationship with God.
