Know Jesus
Knowing God doesn't mean trying to be a good person or even going to church. It means we seek God on His terms. Terms that He has already reveled to us through the Bible and most importantly His Son, Jesus.
Coming this understanding is important, not just in this life but more importantly, in the life to come. Please understand, this life your living (or not living) today, is not it, and for must of us thankfully so...
Know that there is more to life and that the primary reason we're all here:
-
it's not - get all you can and can all you get
-
it's not - to be the best you (or anyone else).
-
it's not - a feeling of happiness (or any other feeling).
Life has been given, time has been given, by God that we would seek Him,
We have been created (you and I or not accidents) for a relationship that lasts beyond this lifetime for eternity...
"Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end." - Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NLT)
​
Accepting this free gift, once again, comes on God's terms for forgiveness and eternal life is only made possible by Jesus Christ and His sacrifice, and resurrection. In this video below you can see an explanation about God's plan for us and our eternity. As you watch this video, be reminded that we, "like children" need to approach Him in Faith...
The Bridge Is Out: The Adventures of Ben Born Again & YellowDog
When Ben and YellowDog encounter a collapsed bridge, Ben realizes it’s the perfect faith analogy. Like a broken bridge keeps us from the other side, sin keeps us from God. But there’s good news! God gave us a “bridge”: Jesus Christ.
Did you watch it?
Let's Recap:
Realize that you are a sinner.
No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a good person. That is because we are all sinners. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one.” We cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
Recognize that Jesus Christ died on the cross for you.
The Bible tells us that “God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it.
Repent of your sin.
The Bible tells us, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.” The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.
Receive Jesus Christ into your life.
Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . . .” If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
​
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. Amen.”
