Almost as if I keep forgetting about Him. As bad as that sounds and yes I'm ashamed to call myself a christian for that matter..I just need a good start on how to know Jesus and building a relationship with him?

Guest Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Read you Bible every day. Preferably at the same time and in the same place. If you don't have time to read, listen. And either before or after, thank the Lord for the opportunity to learn about Him. Something like "Thank you Lord for this opportunity to learn something about You today. Amen." It doesn't have to be long, you are just acknowledging Him as Lord. The more you do it, the more faithful you are to it, the easier it will be. And the better you will feel about yourself.

There Jesus preaches about the sermon on the mount which gives great insight on Jesus's perception and ways of thinking. Also just keep in prayer and talking to him, trust he will respond and listen for him. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some Christians read the bible more, some less, some pray all the time and some not so much. All of us can probably improve in some area regarding Christianity. Yet, we are all in this together as Christians. All the best to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just a servant Posted October 6, 2014 Group: Removed from Forums for Breaking Terms of Service Followers: 0 Topic Count: 0 Topics Per Day: 0 Content Count: 8 Content Per Day: 0.00 Reputation: 1 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/06/2014 Status: Offline Share Posted October 6, 2014 There is only one way to get closer to God. Forgive everyone, then ask for forgiveness, and then pray. Reading your Bible is useless unless you genuinely want to. Praying is useless unless you are genuine (and forgive everyone first, and ask for forgiveness first). He understands that our hearts are wickedly deceitful. If you find that your prayers are not genuine, make sure to ask him to make you genuine. Only He can do it. Ask Him to make you pleasing to Him.

But at the moment you realize that you are not trying to remember it, stop reading. Don't try to get ahead, don't try to clean up your life before trying to get closer. If you really want to get closer to J, he will help you with it. God wanted people to remember the 7th day(saturday) of the week. Because he chose that day for us to remember him. This is his grand mark. This does not mean that God wants to force you to his church, but that you recognize him especially on that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God became a man came to this earth and died on the cross for your sins. His blood covered your sins so we could live with Him forever in Heaven. And as other said get into His word, get some good praise and worship music and just let Jesus touch every area of your life. He will do it I promise. Because He Lives!!!
