Heartbeat of God

Book excerpt: The difference between one person and another, both now and then [in eternity], is relationship. While every person has a relationship with God [Creator and creation], a second relationship is the foundation of communion and fellowship with Him. The Bible speaks of this new relationship as a new creation, those who are in Christ. Prior to the new birth in Jesus Christ, sin has made it impossible for any person to commune with God. Peoples and tribes throughout the world have created their own gods with whom they attempt to communicate, but their attempts are futile unless they come to God through Jesus Christ.
