How Can I Know Jesus Personally?
Admit- that you are a sinner!
- Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Awareness - Understand that sin eternally separates us from God
- Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Answer - Jesus! God’s only Son whom by His grace you are saved
- Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Acknowledge - Believe in your heart that Jesus died for you, was raised from the dead, and paid your sin debt in full
- Romans 10:9-10 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Assurance - Confess with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Savior
- Romans 10:13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
All things new - Raised to New Life in Christ Jesus
- 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
