To Truly Know My Redeemer.
Before my salvation experience I knew of God and Jesus. Desiring a deeper knowledge, I turned to The Bible where I read these words of Jesus: “I know my own and my own know me.” (John 10:14) These words of encouragement gave me much hope, for my desire was to truly know Him, not just to know about Him. In this amazing statement, Jesus is saying that you and I can know Him personally, just as He knows us. From a human perspective this does not seem possible. How can one who is sinful; personally known the sinless Son of God?
After understanding the salvation ministry of Jesus through reading The Bible, I understood that we can be at peace with God when we have accepted the forgiveness and new life that Jesus offers. How do we come to this experience? In chapter 10 verses 9-10 of the letter to the Romans, we find this instruction from Paul: "If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." In the following verse Paul makes this wonderful promise: "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." When we confess the Lordship of Jesus, we are saying to the world that we have passed into a saving relationship with Him as our Savior and Lord. We have experienced a spiritual rebirth.
Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus is Devine, the Son of God in human flesh, who came to lay down His life as the ultimate sacrifice for sin: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.” (John 3:16-17) The sacrifice of Jesus is God’s unique gift of forgiveness offered to all who will repent and receive it. Do you have a personal relationship with the living Lord of the universe – Jesus, the one who died for your sin, and rose again for your justification on the third day? For each one of us who has by faith confessed Jesus as their Lord, there is the wonderful experience of living a new life in Christ Jesus because, we have been Born Again.
Today, let us give thanks for the opportunity of truly coming to a personal knowledge of Jesus.
