Experts tell us that human beings have an inner-longing to know why they exist and how they were created. Most believe that a Creator, a higher life form, made the Human race. I propose that this idea is 100% correct, and know that Creator is God via Jesus Christ (as the Bible says in John Chapter 1). Therefore - how to love Jesus Christ, and knowing God, are of the utmost importance to humanity and individual human beings.
How do you love Jesus Christ? As much as we try and make loving Jesus a complicated theological task, it is NOT. It's simple. We learn to love Christ by simply accepting and acknowledging His love for His people. We just have to believe upon Him and return His love through faith and belief. The Bible states that we love Him because He first loved us (1 John 4:19).
As such, the ability to truly love Jesus Christ, our Creator, and to know Him hinges simply on belief upon him and receiving the faith that God the Father chooses to bestow upon individuals. But, why?
Humans were born wrong the first time, due to the fall of Adam and Eve, and have since required atonement for their sins so they can commune and fellowship with and know our Holy God. Jesus, His Son (and part of the Triune Godhead), is this everlasting atonement.
When asked if they are a Christian, many people on the street or in everyday life say, "I believe in God." These folks simply miss the point. Even most non-Christians believe in " a god." Christians believe in and upon JESUS CHRIST as their Savior and Creator of the world.
Given this, it should be obvious that there is a huge difference between truly "knowing God" versus "knowing about God" or thinking there is "a god."
Acceptance of Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior leads to repentance of sins, and allows God's Holy Spirit to fill your body with a love for Jesus Christ. That is precisely how to love Jesus Christ - and how to know God, our Creator.
The evidence of this "new love" for Christ is a life changed by God's grace, and a willingness to obey His Commandments by being led by God's Holy Spirit amid you.....
