How to Know Christ
You can know christ as your personal Savior & Lord and know that you will be in Heaven with Him one day.
God's Word is a love letter to each one of us.
Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
God's Word is a love letter to each one of us.
Following are the basic steps of how to know Christ and live for Him.
Step 1
God's Purpose: Peace and Life
God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life -- abundant and eternal.
The Bible says...
"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." --Romans 5:1 (NIV)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." --John 3:16 (NIV)
"I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." --John 10:10 (NIV)
Step 2
The Problem: Our Separation
God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a freedom of choice.
The Bible says...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." --Romans 3:23 (NIV)
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." --Romans 6:23 (NIV)
People have tried in many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God.. The Bible says... "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." -Proverbs 14:12 No bridge reaches God.. except one.
Step 3
God's Bridge: The Cross
Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people. Because of this, we can know Christ as our personal Savior & Lord.
The Bible says...
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ." --1 Timothy 2:5 (NIV)
"For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God." --1 Peter 3:18
Step 4
Our Response: Receive Christ
To know Christ we must trust Jesus as Lord and Savior and receive Him by personal invitation.
The Bible says...
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me." --Revelation 3:20 (NIV)
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." --
John 1:12 (NIV)
"That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." --Romans 10:9 (NIV)
Where are you?
Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
