John 11:41-42 Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.’

Want to get to know God better? You may need to change the way that you pray!

Remember, you’re not trying simply to learn more about God, you’re trying to know Him better on the personal level. Learn to have conversations with God — just like Jesus did, speaking naturally to His Father in the middle of this event!

Psalm 119:103 How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me.” (John 5:39)

He said these words to people who searched the Scriptures for the wrong reasons. But for those of us who have a living relationship with Jesus, these words of His draw us to search the Scriptures for the right reason!

John 1:1, 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory

Why was Jesus referred to as “the Word”? Because He is God speaking to us—God wants you to know Him! Jesus expressed in word and action what God is really like.

The whole Bible is about God revealing Himself to people. Even in your own life, God is constantly reaching out to you, inviting you every day to live your life in close relationship with Him.

Hebrews 3:12-15 Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called `Today’, so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin…Today if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.

Fellowship is one of the tools God has given us to transform our lives!
