(Essay) How can we get into intimacy with Jesus?

Christian faith is to walk after Jesus. Can we imagine that a person not following Jesus becomes a follower of Jesus?

When they are not in a personal relationship walking with Jesus, how can they confess Jesus as the Lord? Christianity is all about intimacy with Jesus. 

How can we get it?

(1) Believe in Jesus

Hebrews 11: 6A says, "And without faith, it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists....."

We must first believe that Jesus as God exists now and forever just as two thousand years ago.

(2) Seek Jesus Himself

The latter part of Hebrews 11:6 is "He rewards those who earnestly seek him." What is the reward? That's Jesus Himself. 

Jeremiah 29:13 says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

It's the promise that we can see Jesus when we seek him with all our hearts.

(3) Love Jesus

In John 14:21, Jesus says, "He who loves me……I also love him and show myself to him." For us to see Jesus, he must show himself to us. 

But for who? Jesus says, "He who loves me!"

Therefore, we learn that intimacy with Jesus happens through our faith, hope, and love for Jesus.

And, as the Bible says, the first is to love Jesus (1 Corinthians 13:13). He who loves Jesus is undoubtedly he who hopes to encounter him as well as he who believes in him.
