Christianity isn’t a religion…it’s a relationship…and it’s personal. Through faith in Jesus Christ, we have eternal life and a personal relationship with all three Persons of the Godhead…the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In Christ, we have become the children of God…part of His family…and, as a result, we have deep abiding fellowship with Him. We know Him, we are known by Him, and we belong to Him!

 

Isaiah 43:1b

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name; you are Mine!

 

John 1:12

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name.

 

John 17:3

This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

 

1 John 1:1-3

1 What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning [Jesus,] the Word of Life— 2 and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3 what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.

“Jesus intends for you to experience the pleasure and reassuring peace of His presence at the core of your life. He wants to be more than just another volume in your encyclopedia of biblical facts. He didn’t die for you to simply strike a deal guaranteeing heaven. He died for you to make you His own and to grant you the unspeakable privilege of experiencing Him personally.” ~ Joe Stowell

 

The Lord bless you and keep you…
