Knowing God
"Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." – John 17:3 (NIV)
Being a Christian is not just about subscribing to a religion -- it is a relationship with God. Every one of us is guilty of sin. Sin is doing something against our own conscience and the Law that God has laid down for us. It is because of this sin that makes each one of us deserving of punishment, which is eternal separation from a loving God.
This is a free gift from God -- something we cannot achieve by our own good works. However, a gift needs to be accepted before it can be of any use to the one who receives it. You can accept this gift from God, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that he died so that you may live. Don't let another moment slip away. Jesus stands at the door of your heart, knocking. Let him in and you can experience the true joy of knowing God.
