Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

Christ teaches people to pray with confidence and intimacy. His approach to God was both reverential and tender. He removed the need for an intercessor like a priest, making communication with God accessible to anyone. Christ teaches us how to pray for forgiveness, have confidence that our needs will be met when we ask, and turn to God when life is difficult. His example and instruction promote a relationship with God marked by gratitude, humility, love, peace, and joy. Without Christ, people pray with uncertainty, not knowing how to communicate with God. The poor have no hope of help. The suffering have no hope of comfort and meaning. The confused have no hope of direction and clarity. The guilty have no hope of forgiveness. Christ teaches us how to have a familial relationship with God that encourages us to approach Him under all circumstances.
