God Wants You To Know Him

The Kingdom of God is not a secret society. God's secret was Jesus, who has now been revealed for everyone. Knowing God in a personal and intimate way is not only attainable, it is the reason for your existence. The way to know the Father is through His son Jesus Christ. He is very much alive and willing. Indeed He is longing to be your closest friend, no matter who you are or what you have done. He is no respecter of persons, and this is offensive to religious minded, self-righteous people who like to believe that their good deeds and clean living have earned them something with God. Wrong. Jesus has earned all things pertaining to life and godliness for us all, as a free gift. The grace of God has appeared to all men, but we must learn how to appropriate it by coming into relationship with Jesus, and beginning to live a life of love and faith. All of us who have a hope and a future with God, can accredit it to what Jesus has done on our behalf.  Don't limit God's influence in your life by thinking He doesn't want you, or that you have to jump through religious hoops and be approved by men in order to be accepted by your Father in Heaven. There are plenty of good reasons to live a holy life, but don't fall into the trap of believing it is a prerequisite to relationship with God. Just turn to Jesus; as He begins to earn your trust, you will begin to change effortlessly as His Word takes root in your heart and begins to bear fruit in your life. Oh how I long for everyone to really know Him. He is beautiful...
