Knowing Jesus Christ is the most exciting
relationship you can have. It is the beginning of a life of adventure with an
all-loving, all-powerful God.
Also,
you will begin a Bible study series which has had a positive influence on
thousands of lives. Each lesson of Your Life in Christ builds upon the previous
one and together they furnish practical understanding which will help you
experience the Christian life as God intends.
The
following 4 principles concisely explain what a person needs to know to begin a
new life in Christ. A brief review of these scriptural truths will provide a
starting point for being confident in your relationship with Christ.
Principle No. 1
God
loves you and created you to know Him personally. As it is written in John
3:16a – that “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that
whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
Principle No. 2
Man
is sinful and separated from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience
His love. In Romans 6: 23, it is written “for all have sinned and fall short of the
glory of God”.
Principle No. 3
Jesus
Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him alone we can know God
personally and experience His love. Again, as John 3:16 stated, “For
God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever
believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life”
Principle No. 4.
We
must individually receive Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord; then we can know
God personally and experience His love. In Romans 10:13, it is written that “for
everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved”.
Many people who have received Jesus Christ into
their lives may still ask, “How can a person who has received Christ know
with certainty that he will spend eternity with God?”
The
answer to this important question supplies the foundation on which your Christian
life can be built. In next few days, we will look at what the Bible says about
how we can have confidence in our relationship with God.
