A Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Here are some simple truths from Scripture that show you how you can know God personally in your life.

Step 1: God loves you and has a purpose for you

God loves you and wants you to experience His peace and life – victorious and eternal!

The Bible says:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”—John 3:16

Step 2: Sin separates you from God

God created us in His own image to have everlasting life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and freedom of choice. When we choose to disobey God and go our own way instead of His, this is sin, and this results in separation from God.

The Bible says:
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”—Romans 3:23

Step 3: No bridge reaches God... except one

Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

The Bible says:
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”—John 14:6

Step 4: Trust Jesus

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and invite Him into our life.

The Bible says:
“That 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.”—Romans 10:9

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?
Here is how you can recieve Christ:
1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).
2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).
3. Believe that Jesus died for you on the Cross and rose from the grave.
4. Through prayer, invite Jesus to come in and control your life through the Holy Spirit. (Receive Him as Lord and Savior.)
