KNOW GOD

I know Jesus Personally

What does it mean to know God?

Knowing God is more than knowing about Him, it’s having a personal relationship with Jesus. We begin by believing and trusting in Him, then learn to follow Him in every area of our lives.

Following Jesus begins with faith. Believe means putting our trust in who Jesus is, what He has done for us, and choosing to build our lives on Him.

- “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16, ESV)
- “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9, ESV)
- “because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” (Romans 10:9–10, ESV)

BELIEVE

Trust Jesus with your life and salvation.

Jesus invites us to more than belief. He calls us to follow Him. Following means learning His ways, obeying His words, and allowing Him to shape how we live each day.

- “And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” (Luke 9:23, ESV)
- “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”” (John 8:31–32, ESV)
- “whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” (1 John 2:6, ESV)
