The Bible teachings are very much clear on a dialogue with God. The Old Testament is a section of the Bible that has dwelt so much on the early actions by the people of God, how they used to communicate to Him and how in most of the time He answered their prayers and requests. The story of Abraham was a very typical example of the communication that exists between His people and the elect.
In the past immediately the days of creation, the dialogue with God take the format of face to face communication. God used communicate directly to Adam and Eve as well as their siblings. However, after man had committed sin that special bond between him and his Creator was reduced and the type and format of communication was tremendously changed. This was the beginning of the broken ties between God and man.
Apart from this episode, we are also able to see people who had faith were able to communicate to God, informing Him about their problem and He was also able to give them His plan for His people. The communication was good at first but we are able to see deteriorating with time as the number of people in the world increased and the level of sin increased in the world.
At the point of creation, the communication between God and man was at its extreme to the highest degree, He loved man and often times He used to visit man in the Garden of Eden just to communicate to him. He even used to present Himself to Adam and Eve so that they may be able to visualize His love for them.
From this onward we were able to see Him opting to use His prophets as a vent through which He was able to reach out to His people and communication.
When we look at the New Testament, we are able to see the face to face communication becoming more and more extinct with time, the earlier Christians like Apostle Paul and his comrades in Christ were not able to communicate to god directly, but they were able to pass their messages through Christ Jesus, who represent them to His Father.
At this point in time, the people God were not able to communicate to God but they were able to have a dialogue with Christ. And somebody may ask about the fate of this communication to man today. Yes this communication still exists up to date. In as much as the direct communication does not exist does not tell that Christians do not talk to their Mater.
The mode of communication changed from just talking to Him directly to the communication being presented to him through prayers and through Jesus Christ. And this is evidenced when Jesus told His disciples that He is the way the light and the truth and that no one can go to heaven without passing through.
This explains why we have to include His name in all the prayers that we present to God so that He can present our pleas to the Master in Heaven. A dialogue with God was therefore made possible after the death and resurrection of Jesus.
