For Non Christians to really understand your relationship with God

In this class, there are quite a few people who have barely studied Christianity, or have never studied it until this class. Most of these people are only judging the bible and Christianity based on like 3 books in the bible. The bible has over 60 other books in it. I feel like it is difficult to even begin to have a solid idea about Christianity until you have gone through more chapters of the bible. The bible is just like person; in this case person is God. In getting to know anyone, you don't know them just based on two or three encounters with them. You have to spend time with the person. You have to form a relationship with them, the same with the bible. It sometimes takes months even years to really know someone. The same with you relationship with God, and you way to get to know him is through studying the bible, praying and talking to God. Different people go about their relationship with God in different ways. Some people listen through the preacher. Me personally, whenever I read the bible I ask God to speak to my heart. And I ask him to give me his holy word and tell me he wants me to hear.

Somebody also said in class that the bible is a mirror of you. Some people said that the Ten Commandments made them feel like shit. This made me think about this: True friends, those you can trust despite all, who will always be there for you, those are the ones that know you. They know how to talk to you, and they tell you the truth no matter what. Just like the Ten Commandments. They tell you truth, they make you see that you are sinner and if you want to redemption then you need to repent. They make realize what you need to work on to become a better person. Just like any true friend.
