You hear many say that they found Jesus. No, Jesus found them. Jesus was never lost. We are the ones that are lost.

The Proof: How Jesus Christ Founded Me

I had fallen away from God. When I got Out of the military, I lived in and out of hotels. I was a drinker daily: stone-cold alcoholic and a drunk. I went out looking for fights, furious and bitter. I did not have a job and went to eat in and out hamburger stand. I got into a conversation with an elderly gentleman (Jack Eager). He asked me if I needed a job. He hired me the next day. This was November 1993. God blessed me to meet a wonderful church-going woman, and she got me back into the church. I ( rededicated my life to Christ and got re-baptized.

As you listen to this podcast you are on the edge of something unique. You’re standing at the threshold of your new life in Christ – an adventure that will change everything about you. The Proof is about more than just believing in Jesus as your Savior; it’s about having a personal relationship with Him by responding to His love with faith and obedience. So what are you waiting for? Let’s dive in and explore how Jesus Christ founded you

The Proof is not about Christianity; it’s about Jesus.

The Proof is about Jesus and what He has done for you. Christianity is a religion that people try to follow in order to make a relationship with Jesus. The Proof flips this concept and creates a relationship with Jesus, your starting point. We don’t try to pursue Jesus; we follow him and walk with him. This is why it’s so important to know you know Jesus. If you believe in a Jesus you’ve never met, He can’t be your Savior.

You can never know too much about Jesus.

This may sound extreme, but it’s true. The more you know about Jesus, the more you will love Him, and the more you will want to follow Him. More excellent knowledge of Jesus will also protect you from false teachers and doctrines that are out there. Let your desire to know everything about Jesus be your driving force. Be hungry for more information about His life and His teachings. Read the Bible and books about Jesus, and go online to learn more. The more you know about Jesus, the more you will love Him and trust Him with your life.

Be sure of your decision to follow Jesus.

Don’t make Christianity about what you’re going to get out of it. If you’re going to have a relationship with Jesus, it has to be a decision you’re sure about. Look at your life and ask if you’ve done anything for Jesus lately. If the answer is no, you need to do something right away before you start to lose your passion for Him. If you decide to follow Jesus, you’re making the most critical decision of your life. Make sure you’re ready to take full responsibility for your decision. Once you’re His follower, there’s no turning back. Your life will never be the same.

Everything you do must be because of Him.

Jesus said that whatever we do to others, we do to Him. Once you’ve decided to follow Jesus, everything you do must be for Him. Whatever mission you’re on, be it at your job or in your community, let the goal point people toward Jesus. Let your prayers and your actions be to glorify Him. Remember that even your hard times are for Him. They are lessons He wants to teach you.

You can only fully know and love God through Jesus Christ.

You cannot fully know and love God if you don’t have a relationship with Jesus Christ. God is a Spirit, and Jesus was God in the flesh. Through Jesus, you get to experience a personal relationship with God. You can know God’s voice, character, plans, and love through Jesus. You can see the fullness of God’s love by accepting His sacrifice on the cross. You can know God’s forgiveness and heal through Jesus. It’s only through Jesus that you can know God and love Him.
