^{Principle that can help you know God personally}
^{1. God loves you and created you to know him personally}
^{2. Man is sinful and separated from God,so we cannot know him personally or experience his love}
^{3. Jesus Christ is God's provision for man's sin. Through him alone we can know God personally and experience God's love}
^{4. We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know God personally and experience his love.}

Now That You Have Entered Into a Personal Relationship With Christ

The moment you received Christ by faith, as an act of your will, many things happened, including the following:

1. Christ came into your life (Revelation 3:20 and Colossians 1:27).

2. Your sins were forgiven (Colossians 1:14).

3. You became a child of God (John 1:12).

4. You received eternal life (John 5:24).

5. You began the great adventure for which God created you (John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17 and 1 Thessalonians 5:18).

SONG - Rejoice Yolonda Adams

I came today with a song of hope
Encouraging you to devote
Your life to something more cause there is so much more
So throw all of your doubts and fears away
Should have done it by now anyway
Can’t do nothing bout yesterday
So just dance and rejoice

Think about all you’ve overcome
All the battles and all the victories won
Why not stop and have some fun just dance and rejoice

^{SCRIPTURE - JOHN 15: 12-17}

¹² My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³ Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ¹⁴ You are my friends if you do what I command. ¹⁵ I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. ¹⁶ You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. ¹⁷ This is my command: Love each other.

SONG - I am a friend of God

Who am I that You are mindful of me?

That You hear me when I call

Is it true that You are thinking of me?

How you Love me

It's Amazing
