Introduction

This video is the first in a 12-part series by John Bevere on drawing near to God and experiencing intimacy with Him. The main focus of this session is on God's passionate pursuit of humanity and the individual's role in initiating and deepening that relationship.

Key Takeaways

1. The individual determines the level of their relationship with God: It's not God who limits the relationship, but rather the individual's actions and pursuit.
2. God is more passionate about drawing near than we are: God's longing for intimacy with humanity is immense, exceeding even our own desires. This is evidenced through numerous scriptural examples and reflections on God's attributes.
3. God is a communicator who desires interaction: God actively seeks communication, often at inconvenient times, demonstrating His desire for a dynamic relationship, not a one-sided devotion.
4. The value of a relationship with God is immeasurable: God's sacrifice of Jesus demonstrates the infinite value He places on each individual, exceeding any earthly measure.
5. Recognizing God's pursuit is crucial: Many Christians misunderstand God's love and pursuit, failing to recognize His active role in seeking intimacy with them.
