Why does God want a relationship with you?

Why does God want a relationship with you?

We were created by him to bring him glory.

Ecclesiastes 12:12-14
12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

There are many verses in the Bible that tell us to give God glory and why we should.

God made us to need him. He loves us with a love that pursues us! It is similar to the love of a person in love. If you have ever been in love, then you know exactly what I am talking about.

John 10:14-15
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John says Jesus is the good shepherd. A shepherd will leave the rest of the flock to go find that one lost sheep. Can you feel God/Jesus seeking you today?

We love him because he first loved us.

1 John 4:14-19
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
19 We love him, because he first loved us.
