Can a Person Know God?

I mean actually know God?  We are all so wrapped up in our busy lives that we often forget the One who made us, loves us and wants to be with us.  So how could this be possible?




The Problem
God made man and woman, but not as machines, plants or mere animals.  He made them like Him, giving us an eternal soul.  He also gave them a free will, to decide on their own to choose right or wrong.  The only problem was that they chose to do wrong, and doomed themselves and their descendants (us) to be separated from God, both now and for eternity after we died. 

The Solution
The good news is that God already knew this, and made a provision for us.  He knew when he created us with our own special will and freedom of choice, that we would choose to separate ourselves from God.  But being the one who created us, He loved us in spite of ourselves.  He knew that the cause and effect of our choosing wrong, or sin, had to be paid for somehow and did not want us to pay by being separated from Him forever. 

The Price
The only way to do this would be to come down to earth Himself, live the only perfect life ever lived, and die a cruel punishment death to pay for our sins, our choice to do wrong, so we could accept that payment and no longer be separated from God, both now and after we die on this earth. Of course I am talking about Jesus Christ. 

"He was in the world, the world was made by him, and the world did not know Him...But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. " - The Bible, John 1:10,12-13



This means that now you have a way to know just how to get to heaven when you die.  It's not by being good, or hoping that your good deeds will outweigh your bad deeds.  It doesn't work that way.  This fault in ourselves, this sin, this thing that makes you age and die, will make you age and die and be separated from God no matter what the concentration.  I doesn't matter if it's 1 thing or 10,000 things, it still contaminates us and separates us from God.  This is why we needed a perfect payment, a substitute to pay the price for us, and God knew and was willing to pay that price for us.  He loves you and does not want you to be separated from Him.  If you come to God and tell Him you realize these things, and accept His payment for your sins, He will accept you, and God's very Spirit will be in you, and you will have a relationship with God that you never dreamed existed, and one that will last forever.  This may very well be the most important moment of choice in your life.  This is what being "Born Again" actually means. 

If this has helped guide you to that decision, please let me know.
