Is Jesus Real to You?

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”

GALATIANS 1:6-9

Ponder This

Many churches are filled with people who’ve never been born again because they have never had a personal confrontation, a faith encounter with Jesus Christ. They’ve met a creed, but not Christ; they’ve met a cause, but not Christ; they’ve met a code, but not Christ; they’ve met a church, but not Christ.

Do you know Jesus Christ? When I tell you I am a Christian, I want you to know Jesus Christ is real to me. I put my faith in Him. We believe in the Gospel that not only brings Christ in but also centers in Him. It doesn’t simply mention Him or give lip service to Him. Back when Paul wrote this, the surrounding culture worshiped many gods. In fact, if you go to Rome, you can still visit the Pantheon. That means many gods. It’s a beautiful building where they had niches in the walls for all the gods and you could worship any of them. That made everybody happy.

Rome was not a destroyer of religions; it would bring them all together and join them. But here is the thing, you can’t do that with Jesus Christ. It’s not “Jesus and”; it’s not “Jesus or”; it’s “Jesus only.”

• What are some things that threaten to take your attention away from Jesus?
• What does it look like to have a personal relationship with Jesus? How can you grow in your relationship with Him?
