Know Jesus Personally

1) God loves you and created you to know him personally.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16),"Well, this is eternal life.You can you know the one true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent"( John 17:3 )
2) Man is sinful and separated from God, we can not know him personally or experience His love .
 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"(Romans 3:23).
 "For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).
 "The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind is controlled by the Spirit of life and peace, sin .. mind is enmity against God, he is unable to present God's law, he can not by the sinful nature can not please God control. " (Romans 8:6-8).
A gulf separates man from God. The man is continually trying to reach God and a personal relationship with Him through human efforts, such as a good life, philosophy and religion. But he inevitably fails.
3)Jesus Christ is God's provision only for the sins of men. Through him alone we can know God personally and experience the love of God.
"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."(Romans 5:8).
"Christ died for our sins was buried  he rose again the third day according to the Scriptures .He appeared to    Cephas, then to twelve. He was obviously more than five hundred "( 1. Corinthians 15:3-6).
"Jesus said to him:" I am the way, truth and life. No one comes to the Father except through me."(John 14:6 ).
 God has the gulf that separates us from him by his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross in our place to pay the penalty for our sins bridged .
