Many people have heard about Jesus. They might know about His birth at Christmas or His resurrection at Easter. Some see Him as just a good teacher or the founder of a religion. But do you really know Him personally?

Jesus didn’t come just to start a religion—He came because He loves you and wants a relationship with you.

The Bible tells us that God created us to know Him and reflect His image (Genesis 1:27). But sin entered the world when people chose to live without God. That choice broke our connection with Him.

Because of His great love, God sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus rose again so we could be forgiven and have eternal life—and a real relationship with God right now.

If you want to begin that relationship, it starts by admitting that we’ve all sinned and can’t fix it ourselves (Romans 3:23-26). Then, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord (Romans 10:9). Invite Him into your life and let Him lead.

True peace, purpose, and a new perspective begin with knowing Jesus personally.
