STEEMCHURCH: Knowing God individually
John 3:16: for God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. Gods love for us is unconditional and there is no greater love than for someone to lay down his life for us.
Jesus Christ is God's only provision for our sins. Through him we can experience and know the love of God and his plan towards us.
God demonstrates his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners he died for us.
We must give ourselves totally to God in order for us to experience his love, care, protection and guidance.
How To Begin a Relationship with God?
Step 1:
The love of God.
God loves us and offers a wonderful plan for our lives.(john3:16) For God's love for us was too much that he gave us his only son to die for our sins.
Step 2:
We have all sinned and our sins have separated us from God. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Our sins have seperated us from the glory of God. We were created to have fellowship with God but because of our stubbornness our sins have seperated us from God's love. " For the wages of sin is death" (spiritual separation from God).
Step 3:
The only provision for our sins is Jesus christ. Through him we can know God's provision and plan for our lives.
God demonstrates his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners he died for us.
He is the only way to God (" Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life, No one comes to the father but through me.
Step 4:
We must receive Jesus Christ individually as our Lord and personal savior then we can know and experience God's plan for our lives.
As many as received him to them he gave the right to become the children of God, even to those who believes in his name.
Receiving Christ involves turning to Christ from self. And allowing God use use us completely. It involves genuine repentance and giving our life totally to him for him to rule and take over the affairs of our lives.
