How to Know God
In
the Bible, God tells us that he created us to have unending fellowship with
him, peace with our fellow man, harmony and joy within our family
relationships, and to have dominion over the world in which he placed us. But
we chose to go another way.
We
learn in the same Bible that we, through our forefathers, chose to live our
lives for ourselves, rather than to have fellowship with God. This choice of
selfishness lead to our earthly death, to no peace with our fellow man, to
disharmony and sadness within our family relationships, and to a lack of proper
care of the world in which he placed us. Because of this, our future changed to
one of eternal separation from fellowship with God after death, completely
without hope of joy or peace.
The
Bible goes on to record how God provided the remedy for our chosen path of
selfishness. He came to us in the form of his son Jesus Christ. This son lived
a life of fellowship, peace, harmony, and joy in full fellowship with God.
Though innocent of any wrongdoing, he voluntarily allowed himself to suffer and
die as a guilty lawbreaker, and received upon himself the full penalty of our
selfishness by death on a cross.
The
wonderful conclusion recorded in the Bible is that this Jesus rose from the
dead and returned to God. He is forever our representative before God. He
enables us today to enjoy fellowship with God, peace with our fellow man,
harmony and joy within our family relationships, and to exercise proper
dominion over this world in which he has placed us. We need only to pray and
ask him to come in and rule in our hearts and lives.
Simply
talk to God and say, "Thank you, God, for loving me and sending your Son
to die on the cross for my sins. I now choose to make Jesus the Lord of my
life. Help me to be the kind of person that You want me to be. In Jesus' name,
Amen."

"If anyone comes toward me, I will not turn him away." He will be
your answer to your questions on life's journey. We want to hear from you,
