How to Know God

Knowing the true and the living God, and choosing to commit your life to Him through His Son Jesus is the most important decision you can make in this lifetime. It is not by accident that you have come to this page!

Your eternity rests on the choice you make concerning Jesus Christ. It is our desire that as you read the steps below you will come to a personal, meaningful relationship with God through His Son Jesus.

You can actually know God personally by inviting His Son, Jesus Christ, into your life as your Lord and Savior. God is Holy and Righteous and one day you will answer for the things you have done in your life. God must judge the sin you have committed. God loves you and sent His Son to die for you, taking your sins upon Himself - but He is alive now knocking on the door of your heart speaking to you to follow Him. If you reject Christ you will have no hope of ever being saved from your sins. If you are open-minded and honest, deep down inside there is a lack of purpose, a sense of loneliness, emptiness, or perhaps even an abiding guilt that you cannot shake. You may have tried to rid yourself of these things through a number of methods, activities, or just by ignoring them, but find that you end up right where you started. I pray that as you read you will experience the joy, fulfillment, and the freedom of knowing Jesus, and that you will receive His offer of forgiveness. You were created to have this relationship with God, and anything you try to use as a substitute will never be able to complete you.

Know God Personally

The Bible is the greatest love story of all time. It is the story of the Creator of the Universe reaching out to people just like you. Remarkably, God continues to reach out to people even though they may reject Him.

Yet His offer stands:"For God so loved the World that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16
