Know God!
You were created to know God in a personal way—to have a relationship with Him, through His Son, Jesus Christ. How do you start a relationship with God?
STEP One
Realize that you are a sinner. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one.” We cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
STEP Two
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.
STEP Three
Repent of your sin and go the other way. 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 mind to agree with God and consequently change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him.
STEP Four
Receive Jesus Christ into your life by putting your trust in Him. 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 . . .”
