Describe
your personal relationship with Christ.
Recently, I was asked to describe my personal relationship with Christ. How do I put into words the intimate relationship
I have with my Lord (who also happens to be the Creator of
the Universe) in short form answer, especially to someone I have never met? It’s
like describing how I breathe. Actually, that might be an easier task!
This question makes my mind hurt. I know I Peter 3:15 says, “Always
be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for
the hope that you have.” Since I knew the Bible told me to be ready to
respond, I figured my response was also in the Word.
As I was searching for the aforementioned
Scripture, I came across a verse that embodies how I aspire to live: “I have been crucified with Christ
and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the
body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
himself for me,” Galatians 2:20. I realized this
sacrifice at age 21, but over the past fifteen years, He’s been whittling away
and there has become less of me and more of Him.
I have adapted a quote from my pastor @CraigGroeschel that I
jotted down in an old notebook to (partly describe) who He is to me:
When
I am overwhelmed, He’s my Peace.
When
I am hurting, He’s my Comforter.
When
I feel lost, He is The Way.
When
I am lonely, He is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
