Knowing Jesus

Becoming a Christian is not about becoming religious.

 Rather, it's about coming into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Have you ever tried to answer the question, "How do I get to heaven?" Is it religion, good works, or neither? Maybe you have not even considered this is a question worth asking; but, what if I tell you it is a question worth answering?


The Bible says in John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." In that one verse, Jesus gave us the simple answer with no confusion: He is the way. It is not about your religion or what you do. There is no other way than the way of truth found in God's Word.

Truth Number One: God knows who you are and loves you.


Did you know that God loves you? Take a moment to really think about that statement—God loves you.


Regardless of your race, age, background, past failures, or any other aspect of your life, He deeply cares about you and is personally aware of all that is going on in your life. In short, God has an incredible love for you and wants more than anything else to have a genuine, personal relationship with you that can last forever.


John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son..."

Truth Number Two: Sin has separated you from God.


You have a problem; in fact, we all have it. We have broken God's commands. The Bible calls this sin. In Romans 3:23, it specifically says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Have you ever lied, stolen, or thought a wrong thought? Each of these actions breaks a command of God.


Looking honestly into our own hearts reveals the truth—we have all committed sin.And sin has devastating consequences—eternal separation from God in a place called Hell, which the Bible refers to as spiritual death.


Isaiah 59:2, "But your iniquities [sins] have separated between you and your God..."

Truth Number Three: Good works cannot earn you a home in heaven with God.


No amount of morality or good deeds can bridge the gap to God. Man's shortcomings are not behavior problems, they are sinful heart problems.


Most people think if they do enough good things in their life it will eventually earn them a home in heaven with God. But the Bible says in Titus 3:5, "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us."

Truth Number Four: The only way to know God is through Jesus Christ.


Jesus Christ is just as much God as God the Father is, yet He came to earth and lived a human life. Jesus faced all the trials and temptations that we face but never sinned.


Having done nothing wrong, He voluntarily died on the cross and finished His greatest work. He paid for your sin. Then three days later, He was raised from the dead, proving to all that He truly was God.


Romans 5:8 says, "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."


Truth Number Five: You must place your faith & trust in Jesus Christ.


God wants to have a relationship with you through His Son, Jesus Christ. He wants to take your sinful heart and transform it permanently. Today, will you choose to believe in Christ? Right now, you can pray and ask God to forgive you of your sin. All you need to do is put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, believing He alone can save you. Romans 10:13 says, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
