DO YOU KNOW JESUS THE CHRIST OF GOD?
1, I go to church every sunday
2, I go on missions to third world countries
3, I pay my tithe and give offerings
4, I pray every day
5, I help feed the homeless
6, I take holy communion weekly
7, I go to a house group once a week
and all these should be a part of your life when following Jesus, but none of these answer the question DO YOU KNOW JESUS,? But don't panic and keep reading praise God. Many People walk in confusion daily quoting scripture, like this one for instance, whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. They believe that saying the sinners prayer is calling upon the Lord and from that point forward they are saved. Now let me tell you child of God thats a lie from hell, when you say the sinners preyer that is your start point a confession that you are in a mess that you can't get out of on your own, you see child of God before you can change, you first have to admit, just like an alcoholic first has to admit he is an alcoholic before he can start the road to recovery and change old habits for new ones. So just look at this scripture a bit closer and with commonsence, whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord. Lets just keep this simple can you call me on the phone right now? well you could phone me if you had my phone number, but why don't you have my phone number? because you don't know me, my friends have it and a lot of people who know me to talk to have it. can you see child of God? glory to God, if you know me you can call me how simple is that? see confusion be gone in Jesus name. So now see child of God, in order to call on Jesus you have to know Him. Now how do i get to know Him you may ask? DON'T PANIC its simple to know the words that Jesus spoke is to know God, because God gave His Son the words to speak and how and who to speak them too. Jesus spoke words of PEACE, words of JOY, words of FAITH, love, and FORGIVNESS, LIBERTY and ETERNAL LIFE, glory to God, in John 8, Jesus said "you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free", so you can see child of God the words that Jesus spoke are as important to us as life its self or should be praise God. DISCIPLESHIP Starts with studying the words that Jesus spoke, John 8:32, Jesus said " if you live and abide in my word" another trancelation say's " if you continue in my word" and another say's " you are truly my DISCIPLES if you remain FAITHFUL to my teachings, DISCIPLE when translated means, A personal follower of Jesus christ, as one of the 12. Wow glory to God, do you see child of God? Jesus when He came from heaven down to earth,He came with a legesy of truth in words for you and me, words for our strength. Nehemiah said " for the joy of the Lord is your strength" and in John 15, Jesus said to His disciples "these things I have spoken to you that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full" another trancelation say's " I have told you these things so that you will be filled with my joy, yes your joy will overflow" well what did Jesus say and speak? WORDS praise God, and were do you find the words of Jesus? in Mathew, Mark, Luke and especially John the disciple who Jesus Loved, the disciple who Jesus entrusted His mother too, when He said "mother your son and son your mother." the disciple who put his head on Jesus's chest and heard the very heart beat of God, the disciple who God gave His reverlation to write, the disciple who Jesus wants to remain alive untill he returns. glory to God. So this boy you could say has got his credentials from God. In John 3, Jesus said "man must be born again to see the kingdom of God, well same again child of God keep it simple, when we are born a baby what can we do for ourself? not a lot apart from drink and poop, so our parents taught us and we lernt from them by words spoken to us by our mum and dad, then to school to be taught with more words, and its the same with our heavenly farther, He offers to teach us the very way back to His presence through His son Jesus christ and the words he spoke, but child of God the choise is yours to give your time to read or listen to the words of Jesus and let the holy spirit teach you, just like Jesus says, " If anyone loves me, he will keep my word; and my farther will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. he who does not love me does not keep my words; and the word which you hear is not mine but the farther's who sent me. these things I have spoken to you while being with you. But the Helper, the holy spirit, whome the farther will send in my name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your rememberance all things that I said to you. but child of God if you don't take time out to put the words of Jesus inside you by reading or listening to them daily, then there will be no truth in you for the holy spirit to bring to your rememberance, and the words of Jesus = FAITH, as Paul the apostle says faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, or the word spoken through the lips of Christ. Glory to God, well child of God now have a look at some ordinary people just like you and me who listened to and believed the words that Jesus spoke, and how those words impacted there life's. Lets start with the goverment official or nobleman whos son was at the point of death and pleaded with Jesus to come with him before his son dies, and Jesus simply told him to go home your son lives, so the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went home, and guess what? his son was alive when he got back, praise God, child of God can you see? the only thing this goverment official did was to believe the words that Jesus spoke to him. Lets look at another man who has no name apart from a man who was blind from birth, now this time Jesus gave him a word with a task to fullfill after he spat on the ground made mud and annointed the blind mans eyes, and the task was to go and wash his eyes at the pool at Siloam, now the place were Jesus told the man to wash his eyes was about 1 mile, from were he was standing and along the journey to the pool there would have been many oppertunities to wash his eyes, at every doorway would have been water pot's, for washing the feet of people who would enter the house. But he followed Jesus's instructions to the letter and guess what? he recived his sight praise God. In John 6, Jesus said to His disciples "do you want to go away and do your own thing" but Simon Peter stood up and said to Jesus "Lord were shall we go, you have the words of eternal life, so i'm staying with you." because Peter had the same reverlation that Paul the apostle had when writing this, for the word that God speaks is living and powerfull, and sharper than ANY two edgad sword, piercing and cutting between soul and spirit, between joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and the intents of the heart. wow glory to God and all we have to do is spend time studying the words of Jesus, giving back to God what is God's, which takes us to something else that Jesus spoke, and same again if we keep it simple we will get a clear understanding of what Jesus was meaning when He said "give to ceaser what is ceaser's, and to God what is God's, you see God did not make money man did, God, He made something more precious than money, and some thing that whether you are rich or poor you can still give, and that child of God is TIME, He created time 24 hours a day 7 days a week 52 weeks a year praise God, TIME child of God to get a personal relationship with God through His son and the word He left us in the Gospels praise God, and Gospel when translated is, the teachings and reverlation's of Jesus Christ, glory to God so when Jesus said go in citys and towns all round the world and preach the Gospel He is literally saying go and tell people the word that I have told you, tell all people, My words of joy, My words of peace, My words of health, My words of prosperity,my Words of liberty, My Words of FORGIVNESS, and My words that lead to eternal life. Faith, Love and Peace is All you need Jesus has done All the hard work Amen.
 
Do you know Jesus? As in are you a Saved Believer?

Knowing Jesus as in being Saved. It is through Grace we are saved and not by works.

After you are Saved you do good works because we Love our Lord and want to obey his word.

Do not confuse the two because your good works do not in any way count towards your Salvation.

EPH 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

that's right praise God. Jesus show's us how to get to know him when He said this in John 8:31 If you continue in My word [that's Jesus' ] then you are My disciple. another version say's, If you remain Faithful to My teaching's, then you are My disciple. and Disciple when translated is, A personal follower of Jesus Christ. glory to God. and funny enough listening and reading the Words of Jesus produce's Faith. praise God. Faith, Love and Peace is all you need, Jesus has done all the hard work
 
One of my favourite verses!
one of mine as well Praise God. When you look at what strength and stronghold mean in the greek, it translates Fortified fortruss, glory to God, and Jesus say's this in John 15:11 I have told you these things. another version say, These things I have spoken to you that My Joy might remain in you, so that your Joy may be full and overflowing. glory to God, and what did Jesus speak?? Words and were do we find the word's of Jesus??? The gospels, glory to God. and Gospel translate's, The teaching's and reverlations of Jesus Christ. Faith, Love and Peace is all you need Jesus has done all the hard work Amen.
 
This is my second post I hope I do good all.

Do you know Jesus?

Did you ask your heart?

Or is it an intellectual right answer you keep telling yourself?

Do you follow a man out of loyalty?

Or are you lead by devotion by the Spirit?

A human saying is "The proof is in the pudding"

God says "By their fruit they shall be known"
End

I like the above verses.

Psa 137:4 How shall we sing the LORD'S song in a strange land?
wow that's a boat load of questions praise God, Yes I do know Jesus I follow His teaching and walk in Love and forgivness coss that is what the Father requiers of Me. Jesus said in John 6:63 It is the spirit that give's life, the flesh proffits nothing. The Word's I speak are spirit and they are Life. He also said to the samaritan woman at the well in John 4:23 But the time is coming and has now come, when the True worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth. The Father is looking for anyone who will worship Him in that way. For God is Spirit, so those who worship Him Must worship in spirit and in Truth. glory to God. Faith, Love and Peace is all you need, Jesus has done all the hard worke Amen.
