No one has ever seen God, but the one and only [Son], who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known.

Everyone who confesses that Jesus is God's Son participates continuously in an intimate relationship with God. We know it so well, we've embraced it heart and soul, this love that comes from God.

Therefore, since we are now justified ( acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ's blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God.

By faith in Christ you are in direct relationship with God.

So now we can rejoice in our wonderful new relationship with God because our Lord Jesus Christ has made us friends of God

Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.

We grow stronger as we depend on God’s strength.
