How to Know Jesus Personally – Start Your Faith Journey TodaySample

Alright, let's get straight to the point. Jesus made radical claims—He said in John 14 that He is "the Son of God," that He existed before Abraham, that He and God are one, and that no one comes to the Father except through Him. He performed miracles that amazed many, yet His claims left no room for neutrality.

This is the Trilemma: If Jesus wasn’t who He claimed to be, then He was either a liar or a lunatic. But how could a liar perform the miracles that defined His ministry? Why would a deceiver willingly suffer, be tortured, and die the most painful execution, rather than recant? And how could a lunatic offer the most profound ethical teachings in history—words that have shaped entire civilizations and continue to change lives today?

Jesus was known for His wisdom, love, and power, not deceit or madness. He healed the sick, calmed storms, fed thousands, and even raised the dead. His followers—many of whom saw these miracles—were willing to die rather than deny Him. Would they die for a lie? Even His enemies acknowledged His wisdom, yet He was hated, persecuted, and crucified for His claims because they went against their religious system at the time.

So if Jesus wasn’t a liar, and He wasn’t a lunatic, the only conclusion left is that He truly was who He claimed to be: the Son of God, the only way to the Father.

This leads us to the core of His message. In John 14:6, He declared, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” If that’s true, it contradicts the idea that all religions lead to God. And it contradicts what most religions claim about Jesus.

So, what did Jesus actually teach about how we can be made right with God? What does it mean to follow Him? And how do we receive eternal life according to His words? Let’s find out!
