The following passages from the Bible describe who Jesus is and how we can know God
“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 3:16
It is only in his gift we can truly understand the love of God
“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.” 1 John 3:16a
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:1 - 2
“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature[b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Phil 2:5b - 11
“If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. 11 As the Scriptures tell us, “Anyone who trusts in him will never be disgraced.” Romans 10:9-11 NLT
Please
take some time to consider what Jesus Christ means for you and your
family. Becoming a follower of Jesus is not about becoming
'religious', but about starting a relationship with the God of heaven
who loves you. If you would like to accept Jesus into your life you
can reach out to him with this simple prayer. It is not the end of
the journey but only the end. Scripture tells us to “repent and
believe” (Mark 1:15) and that “all who call on the name of
the Lord will be saved” (Acts 2:21)
Lord Jesus, I recognise I need you in my life, I need your forgiveness. I need your strength. I don’t want to go on alone. I invite you into my life to help me, change me, and make me the person God wants me to be. Amen
