If you can know God personally through Jesus Christ, why would you hesitate to do what it takes to do so? Could it be that you do not know what will happen when you follow the steps it takes to know God this way? Could it be you think to do so would make you a robot rather than a person? Are you afraid of failure to measure up to what God expects of you?
In the first place, you are not a robot when you accept God's way for your life. I can tell you personally, after having walked with God for over half a century, knowing God personally frees you to be yourself. Before knowing God you were a slave to the world, the flesh and the devil. After you turn to God through Jesus Christ, you are free to become what God planned you to be. You are a one-of-a-kind person whom God is pleased to help develop into someone beautiful for God, for others and for yourself.
What happens when you walk into the narrow gate that leads to wonderful fellowship with the God of the universe? (1) Your sins are forgiven and the guilt of your past is all forgotten, never to haunt you again. (2) You are made a new creation. Your old life of sin is taken away and you are made completely new. (3) You are adopted into God's family. You become an “heir of God and a joint-heir of Jesus Christ.” (4) The Holy Spirit enables you to live a life pleasing to God, others and yourself. (5) You are given a place in God's kingdom work that fits you perfectly. (6) By giving yourself completely to God, you can be given power through the Holy Spirit's cleansing you from the old sinful nature that made you rebel against God. (7) You will have sweet fellowship with God as you learn how to live a holy life by studying the Bible and fellowshipping with other people of God. (8)You will be free to develop your full potential as you learn how to bring honor and glory to God. (9) Every promise of the Bible is for you to enjoy.
The only problem most people have once they come to God through Jesus Christ is they wish they had done it sooner. The beautiful thing is, regardless of how old you are, you can enjoy God just as much as anyone else. You can have just as much of God as you want.
One more thing! You have probably heard the statement, “Christians are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good.” The truth of the matter is, the more you love God and His ways, the greater your love for others and yourself will be. You are running around doing good things for other people as you have opportunity. You are supporting the weak, feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, comforting the brokenhearted and helping set free the captives of Satan.
