God Is The Ultimate Definition of Love/How To Know God Personally
1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
God's Love
"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 NIV)
God's Plan
[Christ Speaking] "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
(John 10:10 NIV)
Why is it that most people are not experiencing the abundant life?
Because...
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, He cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man is sinful
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."(Romans 3:23). Man was created to have fellowship with God; but because of his stubborn self-will, he chose to go his own independent way, and fellowship with God was broken. This self will characterized by an attitude of active rebellion or passive indifference, is an evidence of what the bible calls sin.
Man is separated.
"The wages of sin is death" [Spiritual separation of God] (Romans 6:23)
God is holy and man is sinful. A great gulf separates the two.
The third law explains the only way to bridge this gulf...
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
He died in our place.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
He Rose From the Dead
"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 then five hundred..."(1 Corinthians 15:3-6)
He is the Only way to God
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
The diagram illustrates that God had bridged the gulf which 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.
It's not enough to just know these three laws.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plans four our lives.
We Must receive Christ
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— (John 1:12)
We Receive Christ Through Faith
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8,9)
When we receive Christ we experience a new birth
Now there was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a member of the Jewish ruling council. He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the miraculous signs you are doing if God were not with him. In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit." (John 3:1-8)
We Receive Christ by Personal Invitation
[Christ speaking] Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20)
Receiving Christ involves turning to God from self (repentance) and trusting Christ to come into our lives to forgive our sins and makes us what He wants us to be. Just to agree intellectually that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for our sins is not enough. Nor is it enough to have an emotional experience. We receive Jesus Christ by faith, as an act of the will.
You Can Receive Christ Right Now Through Prayer.
(Prayer is talking to God)
God knows your heart is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of the heart. The following is a suggested prayer.
"Lord Jesus I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of the throne of my life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be."
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? If it does, I invite you to pray this prayer right now and Christ will come into your life, as He promised.
