Knowing Jesus!

Becoming a Christian is not about joining a sort of religious club, or about obeying a set of rules and regulations. It is not even about going to church, and certainly not about you doing good works and trying to be perfect!

No, to be a true Christian is all about relationship! Relationship with God as our Father, through the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not about "doing" – it is about "being".

Being forgiven and cleansed

    Being adopted into God's own family

           Being renewed by God's love

                Becoming a brand new creation

Knowing His love for you. Knowing His joy over your life! Knowing that God has a purpose for your life. God your Father wants you to walk with Him and talk with Him. He knows you and He loves you just as you are.

When Jesus died on the cross, He took all your sins and griefs. You can come to Him today very simply by receiving Jesus into your heart and life. Tell him you are sorry for all the wrong things you have done and for turning your back on Him and just come to HIM! Ask Him to forgive you and come into your life.

Here are some verses to read from the Gospel of John:

John 1:12 New Living Translation:  " But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God.¹³ They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God."

Then in John ch3, Jesus is talking to Nicodemus, a Jewish ruler, and tells him he needs to be born again: 
^{7  "}Marvel not [do not be surprised, astonished] at My telling you, You must all be born anew (from above).......                                                                

  

 ¹⁶For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

    ¹⁷For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him."   (Amplified version)

Read these verses, and put your own name in where it is appropriate, and where it says 'the world' make it personal for you! God loves YOU so much that He gave His Son to die for you that you may have eternal life - with freedom, joy, peace and hope in your life from this day on! It is truly like being born afresh - it is a totally new start with Jesus. Quiet you heart before God now, let His love wash over you and ask Him to come in.
Jesus says "Come to ME ..."

Matthew 11:28

²⁸ Come to Me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
