God Wants You to Know Him Personally

Written by Dr. Bill Bright

God created you to love you.

When asked to describe yourself do you reach for your job title? Do you define yourself by your relationships — student, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, friend? Do you think of your successes, your failures, your dreams, your past?

All of these are parts of who you are, but you are more than what you do, more than what you own, or where you live. You are a person loved by God.

Here are four principles to help you discover how you can begin a personal relationship with God:

Principle One: God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.

God created you. Not only that, He loves you so much that he wants you to spend eternity with Him. Jesus said, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Jesus came so that each of us could know and understand God in a personal way. Jesus alone can bring meaning and purpose to life.

What keeps us from knowing God? >>

Can we pray for you? Millions of people around the world believe in the power of prayer. If you are facing a difficult time in your life we would love the opportunity to pray for you.

Requests sent to us will not be posted on the website. All requests will be mailed out to our prayer team, and a prayer mentor may respond to you. Whenever possible we pray for these requests within a day of receiving them. If we receive a lot of requests, a quick response time may not be possible, but we will be praying for you.
