About this episode
The episode reflects on the importance of personal connection with God and the nature of His grace and conviction.
I have been continuing to reflect on the need for our personal connection with God. He is never changing (see Malachi 3:6; James 1:17); He exists beyond time throughout eternity and whilst His character is consistently the same towards each one of us, we can all choose to have our unique connection with Him. "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" (2 Corinthians 13:14). In this verse, we have the fullness of God described, with His son Jesus Christ reconciling all of us with Himself and the Holy Spirit indwelling us to help in both small and big things in life. He changes us through gentle conviction not heavy handed accusatory condemnation (see Romans 8:1-2). It is not religiosity but love.
