How To Know God

Personally

1. GOD CREATED US TO BE WITH HIM​

To love Him, to glorify Him, to enjoy Him forever.

  • Genesis 1:27-28
  • John 3:16
  • Roman 11:36

2. OUR SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD

Each of us has rebelled against God in our thoughts, words, and actions. These choices to go against God’s will are called sin. Sin separates us from God.

  • Romans 6:23
  • Genesis 3:23

3. SINS CANNOT BE REMOVED BY GOOD DEEDS

We try to reach God through our own efforts (good works, religion, philosophy etc.) but they all fall short of God’s holiness and perfection.

  • Titus 3:4-5
  • Isaiah 64:6
  • Ephesians 2:8-9

4. PAYING THE PRICE FOR SIN, JESUS DIED AND ROSE AGAIN

Jesus, fully God and fully man, became the bridge by offering His life to pay for our sins.

HE DIED IN OUR PLACE

  • Roman 5:8

HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD

  • 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD

  • John 14:6

7. READY TO ACCEPT THE GIFT JESUS HAS OFFERED YOU?

Pray this prayer:

God, I see my need for Jesus and the salvation He offers me. I ADMIT I have sinned; that I have chosen to do life my way. I ASK for your forgiveness through the death of Jesus on my behalf. I ACCEPT You, Jesus, as my Savior and I now ACKNOWLEDGE you as the Lord of my life. I am choosing now to live my life in relationship with you, surrendered to your will for me. Thank you for giving your life in exchange for mine. Thank you for saving me from my sin and for giving me the hope of eternal life. Thank you for the gift of your presence in the person of your Holy Spirit. Thank you for all you have done and will do to help me follow you. Amen

8. HOW DO I KNOW I AM A CHRISTIAN?

Did you pray and invite Jesus into your life? Did you ask Him to forgive your sins and ask Him to be the Lord of your life?

If yes, then based upon what God says in His Word, you are a child of God! While you may or may not feel different after praying as you did. It is very important to know that your salvation is not based upon a feeling, but upon a fact.

“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. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” – Romans 10:9-10

“…for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”” – Romans 10:13

9. HOW DO I GROW AS A CHRISTIAN?

Schedule your baptism by registering for the next Baptism class.

Baptism is the first step Jesus took when He launched His ministry. He instructed His followers to be baptized and to baptize all those who receive Him. Baptism is an outward demonstration of an inward commitment to following Jesus.  – Matthew 28:19 & Romans 6:4
