Do you want to know God?
Do you yearn to experience the Lord’s comforting presence, love, power, and wisdom? That’s good, because God loves you and wants to have a personal relationship with you forever.
But what is the problem is . . . ?
. . . one thing separates you from a relationship with God—that is SIN. You and I sin whenever we fail to live by the Lord’s holy standard. We were born in sin and are sinner by nature and action. In fact, Romans 3:23: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
Furthermore, Romans 6:23 explains that the penalty for sin is death—separation from God in hell forever. No matter how hard we try, we cannot save ourselves or get rid of our sins. We can’t earn our way to heaven by being good, going to church, giving arms or being baptized (Eph. 2:8-9).
Understanding how helpless we are because of our sins, God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to save us.
Jesus Christ lived a perfect, sinless life, and then died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins we can’t do for ourselves (Rom. 5:8). Three days later, He rose from the dead—showing that He had triumphed over sin, death and Satan once and for all.
So how can you know God?
It all starts with accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ provides a relationship with the Father and eternal life through His death on the cross and resurrection (Rom. 5:10).
Romans 10:9 promises, “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” If you have not yet begun your personal relationship with God, understand that the One who created you loves you no matter who you are or what you’ve done. He wants you to experience the profound depth of His care and love.
Therefore, tell God that you are willing to trust Him for salvation. You can tell Him in your own words or use this simple prayer:
Lord Jesus, I ask You to forgive my sins and save me from eternal separation from God. I don’t want to die in my sins and go to hell as sinner. By faith, I accept Your work and death on the cross as sufficient payment for my sins. Thank You for providing the way for me to know You and to have a relationship with my heavenly Father. Through faith in You, I have eternal life. Thank You also for hearing my prayers and loving me unconditionally. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me the strength, wisdom, and determination to walk in the center of Your will. In Jesus Name, Amen.
