HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST AND THE SALVATION HE GIVES

This is the most important knowledge and relationship we could ever have. To understand the message of God is to know three main things:

1. God is real and Loves you with the highest love in existence
2. God came here to us in human flesh to do a work we could not.....the cross
3. We can know God personally and some day will see God face to face.


GOD IS EXISTS AND IS REAL, KNOWABLE AND IS A GOD OF LOVE

What does Hebrews 11:6 say about knowing God?

1John 3:1 tells you what?  How do you feel about the love of God?

On the pod cast I say ''GOD IS  AND IS KNOWABLE'' What do I mean?


GOD CAME HERE TO US TO PROVIDE SALVATION FOUND IN CHRIST

Who is Jesus Christ? To Know Jesus as your Savior and Lord is the starting place in knowing God and growing in .....knowledge and experience of Him. He wants you to know and experience all He is and everything He has for you.

What does scripture reveal about God here in Isaiah 46:9-10

  9 Remember the former things, those of long ago;
      I am God, and there is no other;
       I am God, and there is none like me.

10 I make known the end from the beginning,
       from ancient times, what is still to come.
       I say: My purpose will stand,
       and I will do all that I please.
