"Do You Know Him?" This is the weekly email devotional of WhoUWith? Ministries (2004)   "Many of us are faithful to our ideas about Jesus Christ, but how many of us are faithful to Jesus Himself?" -Oswald Chambers Let me try to explain it this way: If I were asked about someone who was an acquaintance I would be reluctant to defend that person since I know very little about them. However, if I were being questioned about one of my closest friends, I would defend them "to the death" because I'm faithful to that close friend. The difference is.I know very little about one, and the other I'm willing to die for! How well do you know Christ? Is He an acquaintance that is difficult to defend in difficult company? Or, is He a true friend that you are willing to defend regardless of what others may think? What does God's Word say?: I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. . -Jeremiah 24:7 No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest," declares the LORD. "For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more." . -Jeremiah 31:34 Is your faith in the idea of Christ, or is your faith in a personal relationship with Christ? If you're not willing to die for Christ.please remember that He was willing to die for you.and did! Just a thought!
