How does one know Christ? The Bible says that faith comes by hearing the word of God. “ For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. What keeps people from knowing God’s only Son? The Bible says that SIN keeps us away from knowing the Son of God. The Bible says that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Sin is anything that we do, say, or even think that is an offence toward our God. No one can stand before God and say that is not true for him. All have sinned. We have a problem. God wants us to know Him, but our sin separates us from Him. God solved this problem by sending Jesus into our world to pay for our sins. Jesus took our sins to the cross. God made Jesus to be sin who knew no sin. Three days later, our Lord was raised from the tomb, met with his disciples, ate and drank with them. Today He offers to us the Gift of knowing Him. Who ever will repent of his sin and accept his gift by faith can know our Lord Jesus. Repenting means you admit to God that you have been trying to get to heaven on your own merit and desire to have your sin forgiven. The Bible says that this is life eternal they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom God has sent.
Does this prayer express what you want in your life? Take this opportunity right now to speak to the Lord Jesus. Say the above prayer and you will know our Lord. To those of you who just made this prayer Jesus says these words, Anyone who believes in Him, has the gift of eternal life. John 6:47. God has given to you the gift of eternal life. You just invited His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ into your life. You know Him personally, and let us take time to thank Him for coming into your life and making Himself known to you today. Let us thank Him for the gift of eternal life. Our Lord Jesus has made Himself known to you today, now He will give you the power to tell someone else. Tell someone else today that you know Jesus and how you came to know Him. Dear Jesus I want to thank you for coming into my life today. Now that I know you please help me to tell someone else today. God wants his children growing in their faith.
