OUR DAILY BREAD "WHAT ABOUT YOU?"

[cimi]

How well do you know the God of the Bible? It's an important question, because the better we know God the better we will know ourselves. Furthermore, we will also be happier spiritually and in every other way.

To see God's holiness is to see our own sinfulness. To see His goodness is to know the wonder of His grace and the depth of His love for us. To see His majesty is to give Him the honor and praise He is worthy of.

Do you know God? Do you know Him better than you did a year ago? If you're a believer in christ, your answer should be yes. The way to know God better is through His Word. As you read and study the Bible, you will grow. Perhaps you've been neglectful. If so, we hope you will be motivated to go back to the Bible and begin growing again.

If you don't know God, the first step is to establish a right relationship with Him. You do that by receiving Jesus Christ as your Savior, God's love-gift to you.

The facts are clear. All men are sinners (Rom. 3:23). Our sin keeps us from a right relationship with God, and we are powerless to do anything about it ourselves (Eph. 2:8-9). Salvation comes through Christ. He came to earth to die on the cross and pay the penalty for our sins. Now our responsibility is to trust in Him.

Receive Christ as your Savior today. If you do, you'll have taken the first and most important step in knowing God.
