How To Know Jesus More

Do you desire to know the saviour more than you do presently? Whatever your reason for desiring to know Christ, knowing the Lord more is a huge step towards a more glorious life full of peace, victory and blessings. This article teaches you how to know Jesus more.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death – Philippians 3:10 (KJV)

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you –John 14:26 (KJV, emphasis is mine)

Life without Christ is life full of crisis. That means, the deeper you know Christ, the farther away from crisis you get. Also, since Jesus is the way to God the Father, the closer you are to Christ the more access you have to God’s blessings. Therefore, learning how to know Christ more is a wise thing to do.

How to know Jesus more

1.       Have an open heart

Ask God to give you an open heart to learn more about the Lord. A mind clogged with philosophy and traditions of men will find it difficult to know the Lord more. There is need for you to have an open mind towards the gospel of Jesus so He can reveal Himself to you.

2.       Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is there to reveal Christ to you, so engage His help. He is the most authentic person to consult about Jesus. Just ask Him to teach you more about Jesus and expect Him to do so and I tell you He will.

3.       Study the bible

If you want to know more about anybody, read about the person. Likewise, if you want to know Jesus more, study the bible. The scriptures, from Genesis to revelation, are centred on Jesus Christ. They talk about Him; Jesus is the word of God. Also, the Word is spirit and life and so it imparts your life. No man or written materials can correctly inform you about Christ better than the bible.

4.       Pray

The longer you stay with an individual, the better you know him or her. So also, the more time you spend fellowshipping with God in prayer, the better you get to know Jesus. This is because you can’t get to the father except through Jesus; your prayer is in the name of Jesus and your fellowship is with God the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Read more...

Why know Jesus more?

Why must I know Jesus more? Many people think that it is enough just to be saved and go to church. On the contrary, life in Christ is more than that. It is a relationship that must be nurtured and developed both for earthly and eternal benefits.

Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me, for I am gentle (meek) and humble (lowly) in heart, and you will find rest (relief and ease and refreshment and recreation and blessed quiet) for your souls – Matthew 11:29 (AMP)

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly – John 10:10 (KJV)

To Know Jesus is to know God and your heritance in Christ. A life without Christ is a life full of crisis. Therefore a better knowledge of Jesus keeps you farther away from crisis. In Him you live, and move and have your being. 

A close relationship with the Lord is sweet! There is so much joy and peace, contentment and liberty in Christ. You will not trade your relationship with Jesus for anything else, including money if you know Him more. You would want to be with Him all the time. When you know how much He loves you, you would want to love Him back. Taste and see that the Lord is good.

Every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before. You would love Him more and more as you abide with Him daily. The Lord reveals more of Himself to you as you walk with Him. You will go beyond seeing Him as your saviour only, to seeing Him as your best friend, a comforter, a present help in time of need, etc. Read more...
