How Can I Know God?
But what does this mean?
The first thing we need to do is to acknowledge that no matter how good we think we are, we cannot compare to the glory of God and His righteousness. We can’t do anything to earn a relationship with God, or His love.
Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
God wants us to be in His Kingdom, He has given us the gift of eternal life, we can either choose to go to heaven and spend eternity in His presence or we can choose to live in eternal suffering.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
He has made a way for anyone, and everyone to know Him, that way is through believing His Son, Jesus, who’s undeserving death paid the price for us to have eternal life with God.
Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.”
As a first step to knowing God, wherever you are right now, you can make this prayer:
Thank you God that you love me.
Thank you for sending Your Son Jesus to die in my place.
I want to say how sorry I am for my sin and wrong doing.
Please forgive me, and make me clean of all guilt.
I believe in Jesus and that He rose from death, and is alive today.
Jesus, You are my Lord and Saviour.
Please fill me with your Holy Spirit, so I can live a new life for You.
‘One prayer, it can’t be that simple, can it?!
God loves to answer simple prayers, simple people, simple faith. It’s easier to know God through an honest heart, than an intellectual mind!
Now that you’ve made this response to God’s love, get to know God by building your relationship with Him alongside other believers. Our relationships with God are not exclusive, or private, but to be shared together. So why not come and join us on a Sunday, or at our mid-week Wednesday get-togethers. You’re in for the most exciting adventure of your life!
