who God is

Getting to know God

God created you because He wants a relationship with you. He loves you. He wants you to know Him personally and intimately, not just know about Him. through God's written word (the bible) and through His only son (Jesus). God reveals that He wants you to enjoy a life that it's in line with His purpose and destiny for you. He wants to be a nurturing and powerful presence in your life, not just an idea in your head. Knowing Him means receiving  His love. Following Him means following His leadership. And let's tell it like it is: Accepting that leadership will affect you lifestyle. As you come to know God, He no longer is a concept simply to believed or disbelieved; He is a living reality who is known  and followed along a path that leads to freedom.

According to the Bible, until you come to terms with Jesus, you haven't dealt with the issue that's most important in getting to know God. In John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Through Him, countless millions have come to know the Father, transforming their lives as well as the entire course of human history. 
And Jesus continues changing history one person at a time. He wants to change your life too. But He will not do so unless you ask Him. It's not enough simply to agree intellectually with Jesus' claims. You must believe in Him. Believe that He is the son of God sent to earth to pay penalty for all sin, once for all, through His death on the cross and ask Him to come into your life.

Receiving this free gift of salvation is as simple as saying, "Jesus, I acknowledge my sin and your payment for it on the cross. I now ask you to forgive me, and I willingly give my life to you". At the moment, He will come into your innermost being and start you on a wonderful journey toward intimacy with God.

Another way to explain this is through step-by-step "path of salvation". Many people find this sort of process helpful as they consider the important decision to give their life to Jesus. Here is a brief four-step system explaining why we all in the Lord and how we can go about making that decision. It includes key scriptures passages supporting each statement. You can look up these verses in the Bible if you'd like to read more of the context.

First:

Realize that everyone needs to be saved. No one is righteous. We are all guilty of breaking God's law in some way and therefore already condemned and sentenced.

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3:19, 20 

Second:

Understanding that there is  hope in Christ. Salvation does not come by keeping laws or being good or doing good works, but only through faith in Christ. All have sinned , but anyone who receives Christ can be forgiven and be accepted by God as righteous.

"But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed..."   Romans 3:21-25

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8  "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:23

Third:

Know that God forgives and accepts unconditionally anyone who believes in Christ.

"There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death."  Romans 8:1,2

Finally:

Trust Christ in your heart and confess Him as Lord with your mouth.

"If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."   Romans 10:9,10

Repeat aloud this prayer (or something similar, what you mean is what matters, not the exact words you use):

I thank you, heavenly Father, for sending your own son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross and pay the penalty for sin. I now believe in Him and accept Him as my Lord. Thank you that you I am saved in Him.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

God loves you!!!
