[Record your answers in the workbook provided at the beginning of this course.]
Are you only interested in God for what He can do for you? Do you have an ancient Egyptain view of God where He is life-dispenser or an impersonal divine force who simply provides for your material needs? Or do you seek life in God and your relationship with Him?
- Reflect briefly how you might transition away from a utilitarian relationship with God toward one which emphasizes your relationship as an end in itself, where you find your life and identity in Him.
