Relationship between God and man was made possible through Jesus Christ. He is the reason why the relationship was restored. Without Him the relationship to God is impossible. Meaning, apart from Jesus Christ there will be no restoration of relationship. For mystics they believe that, “Man can have a relationship with God that does not require the organization nor government of the church.” There are three things that I wanted to say about their statement.

First, Man cannot have his relationship back with his own strength. No matter how much a person tries to restore himself to God he will always end up being failure. Why? Because Man is deprave. He is dead. The bible talks about it in Ephesians 2:1,  “And you were dead in the trespasses and sins ” and Romans 3:10-12, “as it is written, “There is none righteous, not even one; There is none who understands, There is none who seeks for God; All have turned aside, together they have become useless; There is none who does good, There is not even one.” All human fall short of the glory of God  (Romans 3:23).

Second, Man cannot have his relation without Christ as a requirement for the sin. For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all. Even without the organization and the government of the Church cannot make him have his relationship back to Christ. It is by Christ we can have the restoration of the relationship. The organization and the church are there to help a person not as means for salvation. It is their to strengthen the believer as well as to help him grow.

Lastly, Man can have his relationship be restored when He accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God (1 Timothy 2:5). Even in his own land and among his own people, the Jews, he was not accepted. Only a few would welcome and receive him. But to all who received him, he gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was to trust him to save them. All those who believe this are reborn!—not a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan—but from the will of God. There is no other way to have our relationship being restored.
