HOW TO GROW IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD - Step One

Spend time with God every day. This means setting aside some time to pray, read the Bible, and listen to His voice. Prayer is a way of talking to God and expressing your needs, praises, and confessions.

Reading the Bible is a way of learning from God and discovering His will and His ways. Listening to His voice is a way of hearing from God and receiving His guidance and comfort.

You can start with a few minutes each day and gradually increase your time as you grow closer to God.

AVOIDING TEMPTATION - Step Three

Read and meditate on God's Word. God's Word is the truth that sets you free from sin and error. It is the sword of the Spirit that cuts through the lies and deceptions of the enemy. It is the lamp that lights your way and the food that nourishes your soul.

By reading and meditating on God's Word, you can learn His will and His ways, and you can renew your mind and transform your heart. You can also memorize and quote God's Word when you face temptation, just like Jesus did when He was tempted by the devil. See Psalm 119:9–11.
