The Bible states that when we “seek the LORD... He may be found”. How can we find Him and enter this relationship with God? Devote yourself to unselfish religious deeds? Become a better person so that God will accept you? NONE of these. God has made it very clear in the Bible how we can know Him.

1. God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
God created you. Not only that, he loves you so much that he wants you to know Him now and spend eternity with Him. Jesus said, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son so that anyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

2. All of us sin and our sin has separated us from God.
The Bible tells us that "All of us like sheep have gone astray; each of us has turned to his own way." Sin can be described in several ways, to give few examples: hate, lies, selfishness, addictions, immorality, etc. Sin literally means “missing the mark”. God intended us to have a relationship with Him, but instead of living in peace and harmony with God and each other, we sin. The ultimate result of sin in our lives is death - spiritual separation from God. We sense that separation from God because of our sin. Although we may try to get close to God through our own effort, we inevitably fail. We may try to do good things in life, or earn God's acceptance through a good life or a moral philosophy. But our good efforts are insufficient to cover up our sin.

3. Jesus Christ is God's only provision for our sin.
Through him we can experience God's love and plan for our life. We deserve to pay for our own sin. The problem is, the payment is death. So that we would not have to die separated from God, out of his love for us, Jesus Christ died in our place. On the cross, Jesus took all of our sin on himself and fully paid for it. "For Christ also died for sins...the just for the unjust, so that he might bring us to God." He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy." "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that anyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life." Jesus not only died for our sin, he rose from the dead. When he did, he proved beyond doubt that he can rightfully promise eternal life - that he is the Son of God and the only means by which we can know God. That is why Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life; no one can come to the Father except through me.” Jesus says, "Come to me." "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me... out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." It was Jesus' love for us that caused him to endure the cross. And he now invites us to come to him, that we might begin a personal relationship with God. Just knowing what Jesus has done for us and what he is offering us is not enough. To have a relationship with God, we need to repent and welcome him into our life.

4. We must individually accept Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
The Bible says, "Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God." We accept Jesus by faith. The Bible says, "God saved you by his special favour when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it." Accepting Jesus means believing that Jesus is the Son of God, repent from your sin, then inviting him to direct our lives. Jesus said, "I'm standing at the door and I'm knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in."
You can receive Christ right now. The precise words you use to commit yourself to God are not important. He knows the intentions of your heart. If you are unsure of what to pray, this might help you put it into words:
"Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sin and come into my life. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sin so that I could be fully accepted by you. Only you can give me the power to change and become the person you created me to be. Thank you for forgiving me and giving me eternal life with God. I give my life to you. Please do with it as you wish. Amen.”
If you sincerely asked Jesus into your life just now, then he has come into your life as he promised. You have begun a personal relationship with God. What follows is a lifelong journey of change and growth as you get to know God better through Bible reading, prayer and interaction with other Christians.
