Having a better relationship with the creator is a good goal and shows that you have been reborn, because only those closer to Christ desire to be closer to God. You must also admit that as you live, you will never be closer to God like you desire. The blocking aspect is the sins we commit in this life. God does not lack anything on this. It becomes a deficiency on your part. The sins that people commit continue to be barriers to them knowing how to build a close relationship with God. They realize this when it is too late.
The first step to take towards achieving this is making confession a daily habit. He has promised to forgive us once we confess the sins we have committed. It is forgiveness which reinstates any relationship that is or has been on the rocks.
It is however much more than just the word sorry. It must be a heartfelt contrition. The sinner should totally recognize their sins are an offense to God who is holy. They should realize that it was sin that led to Christ cruxification and their sins crucify Him all again.
People have closer moments to Almighty when they listen to Him. Many are still waiting for a supernatural experience of an encounter in God, but Peter says that the Bible is the surest way of listening to God. So people should read it regularly to know what he is speaking.
Having regular prayers is brings you closer to God. We can only speak to Almighty through prayers as he speaks to us through the Bible. Do not pray only when you are in problems. Reading the psalms in the bible is also praying, which can improve how you relate with the creator. The psalms adore, have contrition, supplications and poems of thanksgiving to God.
Finding a church to fellowship with regularly is important in this process of getting close to God. It not only presents us with an opportunity to attend church services regularly but also a chance to interact with other believers too. This helps us to grow even closer to our Lord through sharing of experiences and testimonies.
Obeying his commandments makes you a closer child to him. Those who were obedient in the scriptures got rewarded. This means that you will receive his grace and also salvation if you simply obey him. You will get saved when you repent and live according to his will. Obeying God shows that we appreciate his mercies in our lives.
So by confessing, going for bible study, praying, going to church on a regular basis and obeying his commandments will build our association through him. It becomes not a very simple task. We can draw from examples of how we relate with our fellow people to learn this. Those who spend time together, hold regular conversations, openly express their feelings and are good listeners have the best relationships. The same way and even in better levels, we can have an excellent connection with God. It is not that different.
