Truth no 1. Jesus is in your life believe it

Is God in my life now?

Congratulations, by the way, on beginning a relationship with God.

When you asked Jesus into yourlife, you began the most valuable relationship a person could have.

The night that I asked Jesus into my life, I knew it was a big decision. …To speak out loud, into the air, and talk to God felt enormous.

But at the time it absolutely felt and also seemed like the right thing to do My prayer was brief. “Yes Jesus, come into my life and make me the man you want me to be “

In my mind, I was simply acknowledging God’s existence.

As God, it seemed to me, he had a right to influence my life.

…Here’s the first thing I noticed about God:

God is invisible. I always knew that, but actually, this was an issue.

I mean, when you asked Jesus to come into your life, how do you really know that He’s there? You can’t see him.

How do you know that he really entered your life?

The fact that He entered your life, does it rely on your sincerity?

Or what you said in your prayer?

Or how you feel?

No. None of these.

You have a relationship with God now, because he offered it to you.

You simply responded to him.

I am going to try and explain “how you can be sure that Jesus is in your life” — and what that means! …It is called “Assurance of Salvation”…

Is God In My Life Now?…When you made that decision and invited Jesus into your life, the first thing that you must know and understand is that God heard you? …Yes. Jesus promised that He would enter your live, if you ask Him.

Jesus makes this offeriRevelation 3:20…20 “Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends. …Did you open the door of your heart to God? …If so, what did He say He would do? He said –I will come in…Would God mislead you?…No

First John 5:14 says, “14 And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him..”

In John 6:37, Jesus said, “All that the Father gives me will come to me; and him who comes to me I will not cast out.” And in John 10:27-29 Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”

Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so that we could be in relationship with Him. He’s not indifferent to the issue. He went to great lengths to bring us into relationship with Him. Jesus took our sins on Himself and covered us with His righteousness, making us fully forgiven and fully accepted by Him. We don’t have to first live good lives, or perform religious rituals, or spend years begging Him. God is the one who made it possible for us to have a relationship with Him. And we come to Him based on what He did for us, rather than what we can do. He paid for our sins, in order to forgive us and come into our lives. First Peter 3:18 says, “For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God.”

When a person asks Jesus into their life, it is exciting to know that, what God says is now true about your relationship with Him:

” In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace which he lavished upon us.” (Ephesians 1:7,8)

” This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.” (1 John 4:9,10)

” And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who has not the Son of God has not life. I write this to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:11-13)

To grow in your relationship with God:

To get to know God better, spend time in His word (the Bible) asking Him to reveal more of Himself to you and for Him to build your relationship with Him. The Gospel of John is a great place to start(fourth book in the New Testament).

And talk to Him freely. We are encouraged to “Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, will keep your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6,7)

(You might want to write down one or two of the sentences from the Bible that are mentioned in this article. And maybe put that paper on your desk or nightstand to look at again later.)
