The Gospel Alphabet: "I" for "Intimacy"

“I”—Intimacy:

Through the Gospel we’re invited into a living relationship with the living God. In the love proclaimed at the heart of the Gospel, God has adopted us into his family.

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us that we should be called the children of God, and that is what we are” (1 Jn 3:1). The Holy Spirit empowers us to believe the Good News and is sent into our hearts, enabling us to cry, “Abba, Father” (Gal 4:6).

Rehearsing the Gospel in our worship, teaching, preaching, fellowship, and service helps us to nurture and celebrate this unfathomably intimate relationship.
