God speaks to us through Jesus, who is the Living Word of God! When we create a discipline of seeking God in His Word each day, He communicates to us through it! This is how we come to God through Christ in our daily lives.

Our lives, and eventually all of creation, are redeemed through our Redeemer, our Rescuer, Christ Jesus. Paul wrote to the Romans,

When we surrender our lives to Christ Jesus, we not only change instantly in that moment, but are launched into the process of sanctification. Sanctification is the work the Holy Spirit does in our lives, throughout our lives, to convict and guide us to living holy lives which reflect our Lord and Savior. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”

Our Father in heaven knows every hair on our heads, at any given time. He knows the number of our days, and the deep wanderings of our hearts. “Prepared in advance,” the NIV Study Bible explains, “carries forward the theme of God’s sovereign purpose and planning.” He is sovereign, all-knowing, in control. He restores all things through Christ Jesus, our Rescuer and Redeemer. He has chosen us. He calls us home. We are built with the desire to come closer to God.

Through Jesus, all things are redeemed and restored through Whom all things were created. “So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view,” Paul wrote, “Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation: the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself in Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:16-18).
