There is rejoicing when an individual believes in Christ and finds eternal life in Jesus. However, there is often a struggle that ensues when well-meaning Christians explain their new life in Christ as a list of things to do and other things to avoid. Knowing no better, the new Christian may then try in their own strength to live the Christian life and ultimately taste bitter failure. What then? Try again? Quit?
Though our society in general has grown less familiar with the good news of salvation, a short gospel book coupled with a seeking heart can still make a difference. The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:13 that we can “know” that we have eternal life. An Encounter with Jesus tells us how that can be.
The good news of the reviving life of Jesus makes the difference! You can experience more of Jesus personally and in your sphere of influence. If you know there must be more to the Christian life than what you are presently experiencing, then the material you find on this blog is for you.
I write on the Spirit-filled Life (experiencing Jesus personally), revival and awakening (experiencing Jesus corporately), the Holy Spirit (the agent who manifests the life of Jesus), and faith (the access to the life of Jesus). In addition I may occasionally address related matters along with highlighting relevant resources.
