Admittedly I did read through all 100 replies…

I will say the first few I glanced over were not Biblically based per se. (Again I haven’t read through all the replies)

Based upon the initials ones I saw; this may be a topic you want to discuss in DM’s or I’d even be happy to hop on a Zoom with you to discuss and answer questions you have.

For context, I’ve had a personal relation with God through Jesus for ~35 years and I’ve led Bible studies / small groups in my community and church.

The offer being extended aside, the short answer to the question “how does one have a personal relationship with Jesus” is as simple as ABC…

A: Admit you are a sinner (we all are! We have all fallen short of the Glory of God due to our sin nature)

B. Believe Jesus is the Son of God and that He died on the cross for you as the ultimate and final atonement for your sins (past, present, and future). Your debt has been paid in full!

C. Confess before others that Jesus is your Lord and Savior and through Him you now have eternal life with God the Father.

(I’ll add D)

D. Depend on His Holy Spirit to draw you closer to Jesus and God, day by day, moment by moment. Build that friendship with God. Ultimately God created humans to rule the Earth for Him. We screwed that up. But it doesn’t change the fact that God wants us as a part of His family.
