To have a personal relationship with God, first get right by accepting Jesus as the sacrifice for all of our sins, then you can remove all the “helpers” between you and God (except Jesus) making the relationship a lot more personal. Of course, Jesus paid the price for your sins with His blood, (if you are willing to accept His gift), so He will not stand between you and God—He allows you to stand before God. Stated another way, the relationship we have with God is as His children—“adopted” through His Son, Jesus Christ [our Savior]. (http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/relationship.shtml)
