Romans 4:1-12 // Nathan Miller
You cannot have a relationship with anyone without trust. Trust is the currency of intimacy. But what does that matter to God?
It matters to God because God wants a relationship with you. This is the story of the Bible from beginning to end.
God created our world -- and humans -- as an overflow of His love. God is love, and He chose to create a place to put some of that love. But we rebelled against Him. Yet at His core is a desire for intimacy.
God wants to be with you because God wants to be with you. God loves you because He loves you. Not because He wants something out of you. Simply because He loves you. But the only way into this relationship is trust.
