How do you get to know another person?

As you spend time with someone you get to know them.  People are many layers.  There is a lot to a person and it takes time to know them.  A brief “hi” is not enough.

The same can be said in getting to know the Lord Jesus Christ.  Praying in Jesus’ name is important to His followers.  However, it takes time to get to know Him; Who He is and what He did for you and me.  That means reading/studying God’s word, the Holy Bible.

The LORD God reveals Himself to you and me more and more as we go forward in our life of faith.  I first learned to know God as Savior when I asked Jesus to save me from my sins.  The more I have studied and followed Jesus, the more I see other facets in His name.  For example: Creator, Anointed One (Messiah, Christ), Counselor, and the list goes on.

The LORD told Moses that the Patriarchs of the Hebrew people knew Him as God Almighty.

God revealed another facet of Himself when He introduced Himself to Moses as “I AM WHO I AM.’  Exodus 3:14
And the LORD wanted Moses to introduce Him to the Hebrews slaves as “I am the LORD.”

The LORD continues to reveal more about Himself to the followers of Christ.  Are you growing in your understanding of Who God IS?  I have found that God is very different from who I thought He was.  He is so much more.  He is waiting to reveal Himself as He IS to you.

REMEMBER Who God said He is:

“I am God Almighty.”  Genesis 17:1

“I am the LORD.”  Exodus 6:2

Always remember Who God says He IS!
