We have officially entered the season when we generally acknowledge the birth of Jesus Christ, at least among those who acknowledge Christ at all. With this time of the year there is more emphasis placed on the meaning of the birth of Christ, and His ultimate purpose for being born into the world. We can guardedly agree that Christ came to earth to offer us salvation. But the question I have is, why do we come to Him?
Why do people come to Christ? Have you ever thought about that question? Do you know why you came to Christ?
I’m working on a list of reasons for why people come to Jesus Christ, and I’d like your help. Leave a comment on this post and list some reasons why you think people come to Christ. I’ll put all your responses together with mine, and create a list of “Reasons Why People Come to Christ“, then we’ll discuss them in a future post.
Maybe, if we understand why we come to Christ, we can better understand what we desire in our relationship with Him.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to your thoughts.
Interesting post and a great question for this season or any season… Don’t you think that many of us come to Christ, because of difficult times in our lives? Those difficult seasons make us realize our absolute inadequacy whether it’s in big things like becoming “good enough” for God, or our ability to live moment to moment in a way that brings Glory to God.
Every once in a while, whether it’s in those bad moments or in good ones, we catch a glimpse of God in our lives, and that makes us hungry for more.
Being on the lookout for those “God glimpsing moments” seems so important to me that I tell stories about those moments i on my blog at http://www.everydayservant.com
Thanks again for the great post. I’ll watch eagerly to see what people say
On voit direct que vous maîtrisez bien ce sujet
Thanks for your comment. It’s not so much that I know the subject, but that I know Him who lives in me. I have discovered that 5 minutes listening to the Spirit of Christ expands my understanding of Him more that 5 years of study. It has taken me a while to realize this but the Word of God is alive, and if I just listen it will speak directly to my soul without my intellectual gymnastics. As believers we are truly blessed by God, because He cares for us so much that He has given us the Spirit of Christ in our hearts so that we can know everything we need to know about Him.
