How does God initiate a relationship with us?

Answered in 1 source

God initiates our relationship by seeking us first, as seen in His calling of Moses.

According to scripture, our relationship with God begins not with our initiative but with His sovereign choice to seek us. In Exodus 3, God calls out to Moses from the burning bush, demonstrating that it is the Lord who initiates interactions with His people. Romans 3:11 states, 'There is none that seeketh after God', emphasizing humanity's inability to reach out to God on our own. This truth invites us to acknowledge that any pursuit of God in our hearts is a result of His previous work within us. Understanding that God takes the first step enlightens how we approach our faith and prayer life, fostering humility and gratitude for His grace.
