Here we go :)
What it means to know Christ.
To know Christ is to know the TRUTH.
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)
To me personally, I don't see Christianity as a religion, many people will read that and be like "whattt is this gurllll on about ? Pshh , I'm exiting off this page. Saira who ? I dont think so" Lool whilst others will continue to read on about why I say this.
Christianity is about a relationship with a person. Guess who that person is ? Oh come on. Yeahh, Jesus Christ ! did you guess right ? (my jokes are dead, dont mind me)
Faith the size of a mustard seed, will allow to know Jesus and I can promise you, the second your faith grows, the BIGGEST transformation in your life will take place. So BIG, your love for Christ will just continue to blossom just like that of a flower.
Many people would say they "know of Christ" "they know his name" "they know why people talk about him" But the Major Question is .. Do YOU know him. Do YOU know why he died for our sins ? and resurrected on the third day. Do YOU know why he is called the son of God ? Do YOU know why he is the only begotten son ? (This is the part where you clock on about the "YOU" in bold ... come on, KEEP UP ! )
Isaiah 9 : 6 - For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. - NIV
To know Christ is to know about life. Not knowing Christ and forcing the relationship can somehow feel like driving a car randomly on a motorway and not knowing where your final destination will be. You as the individual are responsible for your relationship with Christ, just as you are responsible for driving the car. And it's not until you UNDERSTAND who is he, as an individual and not through what you've grown up just "knowing or being taught" or by what people have just told you about him. Until YOU take that leap of faith to know him, alone. Then feeling like you're having a "forced relationship with Christ" could be a feeling that can come up more often than you anticipated. There's no point being a Christian and not knowing the prime purpose and platform for which Christianity stands on. The Platform being JESUS. He is our stepping stone, our all in all, and also our guider. Through him we are made whole. He sacrificed his blood and body on calvary so that we will not have to live in fear and that we would not be condemned of sin again ! Isn't our Lord Jesus Christ amazing ?
Know what you're getting into as a Christian. Many people don't actually know about Christ as much as they should, and that is why they feel like they're having a "forced relationship with him". You can overcome that by reading the scriptures, googleing (i think is a word lol) about him , even watch youtube videos ! (Thank God for technology). There's so many resources around you that can help you understand, know and feel Christ for yourself. People may laugh at you on your journey, think you're turning cuckoo, and may even discourage you. But once you have Christ, that is all you will need to survive this world.
Proverbs 8 :35 - 36 - For those who find me find life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD.
How exciting does that sound ? Blessings upon Blessing. Testimonies upon Testimonies.
I really hope Part 2(a) helped somebody. Even if it only touches one person, I will be over the moon, Saturn and Mercury ! When I feel like no-one is around me, who I can talk to or who I can just vent to. A small leap of faith in my heart enables me to just talk and talk and talk and I honestly feel like Jesus is listening. On top of him being my Saviour, he is also my Counselor and most especially my friend.
Knowing Christ is one of the greatest things that ever happened to me, and its through knowing him i am able to share my experiences with you ! I really hope you were touched by this post and if you are in the boat of having a forced relationship with Christ. Take that LEAP OF FAITH, Get to know him ! And see what Jesus can do for you.
Thankyou so much for reading my lovely sairassecretfriends. Like i said. WE ARE NOW FRIENDS. Don't deny it. I know where you sleep ^_^
