Is Jesus still interested in us? What does it mean to have a personal relationship with Christ, and in what way does it impact our lives? And how does someone go about making that kind of commitment? Those are good questions, and typical of someone who understands the significance of Jesus. Here is some information to help answer these and other questions you may have about Jesus. Because of Jesus' resurrection, his followers do not honor a dead founder They have a vital, personal relationship with him. Jesus Christ lives today and faithfully enriches the lives of all those who trust and obey him. Throughout the centuries, multitudes have acknowledged the worthiness of Jesus Christ, including many who have greatly influenced the world. French physicist and philosopher Blaise Pascal spoke of people's need for Jesus when he said, "There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of every man, which only God can fill through his Son Jesus Christ." You can! Because of God's deep love for you, he has already made all the necessary arrangements. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you can enjoy a personal relationship. Jesus made it possible to bridge the chasm which separates us from God. The following four principles will help you discover how to know Jesus personally and experience the abundant life he promised. God LOVES you and created you to know Him personally John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." What prevents us from knowing God personally? Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God, so we cannot know Him personally or experience His love Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Romans 6:23 "The wages of sin is death" [spiritual separation from God]. Romans 8:6-8 "The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God." A great gulf separates man from God. Man is continually trying to reach God and establish a personal relationship with Him through human efforts, such as living a good life, philosophy, or religion. But he inevitably fails. The third principle explains the only way to bridge this gulf... Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love Romans 5:8 "God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 1 Corinthians 15:3-6 "Christ died for our sins... he was buried... he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures... he appeared to Peter, then to the twelve. After that he appeared to more than five hundred..." John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" God has bridged the gulf that separates us from Him by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins.
