Most religious systems believe that
the basis of God’s acceptance of
you depends on your performance.

Yet our tendency as Christians is to
approach God by bringing our good
works or bad works on the table,
as if they factored into our
relationship with God.

A performance-based approach to
God severely impacts your
intimacy with God.

We underestimate the significance
of what happened on the cross.
We overestimate the significance
of our personal act of
righteousness and unrighteousness.

Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is
a new creation; the old has gone, the
new has come.

All this is from you, because you
help God out in making you new. You
do good. Congratulations!

• “To agree each other”
• “To be the same”

All this is from God, who reconciled
us to himself through Christ and gave
us the ministry of reconciliation:

“Not Counting”

You are so reconciled to God that
your sins will never be a barrier
between you and God.

Don’t relate to God based on what
you do or do not do, but solely on
what Christ has done for you.
![Page 17: Intimacy with god part3](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c76e1a28abf46d8b47ce/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We are therefore Christ’s
ambassadors, as though God were
making his appeal through us. We
implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be
reconciled to God.

God made him who had no sin to be
sin for us, so that in him we might
become the righteousness of God.

FEW THOUGHTS
• Your sins don’t make you
unacceptable to God.
• You can take refuge in Christ when
you sin.
• The consequences of your sins need
not rob you of the intimacy with the
Father.
• You didn’t behave your way into the
relationship with God neither you
can misbehave your way out.

Why did God do all that?
Because God wants to have an
intimate relationship with you.
