Our Holy Relationship with God

And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. – Genesis 5:24

Still do godly men walk with God as Enoch did. Do not imagine that God has gone away, and that no longer may we speak to Him as a man speaketh with his friend. No, for truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” Still does Jesus lay bare His heart to His beloved.

And, dear friends, it should be our earnest aim to keep unbroken our intercourse with heaven, for it is the most refreshing thing beneath the sun, This world is like an arid desert where there is no water except as we maintain our intercourse with Christ. So long as I can say that the Lord is mine, all things here below are of small account; but if I once get a doubt about that matter, and if I cease to walk with God, then what is there here below that can content my immortal spirit? Without Christ, this world is to us as thorns without the roses, and as bitters without the sweets of life. But Thou, O Lord, makest earth to be a heaven to Thy saints even when they lie in dungeons, when Thy presence cheers them. But were, they translated to the palaces of kings, and thereby lost Thy blessed company, those palaces would be worse than prison-houses to them. It is most important that you, who are obliged to mingle with the world, should maintain your intercourse with Christ; for that is the only way to keep yourself clear from its corruptions. And you, who have much to do in the church, must keep up your intercourse with Christ; for that is the only way of preserving your service from becoming mechanical, and of preventing you from doing good works as a mere matter of routine. You, too, who have much to suffer, or even much to enjoy, must keep up this holy intercourse, or else your soul will soon be like a thirsty land where there is no water. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
