How To Find God

Finding God May Be Easier Than You Think. The Bible says "Seek and you will find" notice that it doesn't say seek and your chances are 50-50. The reason for the Bible being so sure that you will find God is that the Bible also states that God is seeking people who will worship him. So you see,  God is really seeking you. Jesus also said "no one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him;" Jesus also says "I did not come to condemn the world but to seek and to save that which was lost".

So the fact that your reading this shows that God is drawing you to himself. For the child of God there are no coincidences, Everything happens for a reason.

One secret that I learned in my teenage years is the way to find God is through his word. If you ever get lost in life just pick up the Bible and start reading the New Testament. When God created the Earth it was accomplished by his spoken word. When Jesus raised the dead and did many miracles it was with the spoken word. God is using his written word to transform peoples lives from the inside out. 

So you ask, What must I do to find God and be saved. First you need to know what your asking. Saved from what?

In John3 verse 18 the Bible states "He who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten son of God."

So clearly the question should be what must I do to be saved from condemnation? The Bible teaches that the human race is born under condemnation. That means that if you go along in life and mind your own business and never do anything about God,  you will stay in that state of condemnation.

But fortunately God says that none of his people will be lost. God draws you to himself.

So to be saved the first requirement is that you have to believe that God is. What is the best way to believe that God is? Ask him. What I did many years ago was to ask God. I prayed "Jesus if you are really God could you please prove it to me?" from that moment on my life began changing for the better.

When you ask God to prove to you that he is God, know in your mind that he will do what you ask of him and look for the answer. The proof will come to your satisfaction if you patiently wait and keep looking. In my case the answer came the next morning but every case is different. Remember without faith it is impossible to please God.

I know that some of you are going through some pretty heavy trials. Don't be afraid to ask God for help. Many times God will put you in those tough times with no one left to turn to so that you will finally turn to God. He really wants to help you and be there for you if you will just turn to him and ask him for help. Keep in mind that the most important problem to God is to get you to Heaven.

Remember that it doesn't matter what you have done. We are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. That means that every human being is in the same boat. You don't find God by being "good enough." One story I like that helps put things in their proper perspective is that King David of Israel was one of God's favorite people and he was guilty of adultery and murder.

Remember this, we can't ever get to heaven by being good enough. In fact if you try to be good enough you are insulting God because he sent his Son to die in our place. By you trying to be good enough you are telling God that his Son's sacrifice wasn't good enough.

So how do you put off the things of the world to get closer to God? You pray to God that he will remove all the filth of the world from you and to cleanse you of any wrong doing because you don't have the power to do so and it's only by His son's sacrifice that gives you the power to change and the right to approach God. It is only by God's grace and power that you will be able to achieve harmony with God.

I hope this helps you to find God and develop a close relationship with Him. Remember anywhere you go in life you get there one step at a time. You'll find that God keeps it very simple, to get to Heaven you have to want to go to Heaven. The first step is wanting a relationship with God. Talk to God every day about your true feelings and read the bible everyday and before you know it you be closer to God. God says that if you'll draw closer to God, He will draw closer to you.
