Answer 2

By giving up religion. The ancients, around the time of the creation of Christianity, looked to Greek philosophers like Plato and Plotinus for a clarification of the emerging Christian philosophy. Plotinus believed that God was beyond "being" and couldn't be known through rational exploration. So knowing God can only be a spiritual accomplishment, and not at all. Borrowing from Eastern philosophy, I say be still as the TAO and you will know God.

Answer 3

When I was a little girl, I grew up in a house where people were cold to each other. My parents didn't like each other much, and my sisters and I didn't get along....I once told a person, after I'd become an adult, that I felt like I had been "dropped behind enemy lines" living in that house.

I used to read books in the back of my mother's closet. When I heard people arguing and yelling and saying unkind things, I thought, there must be an opposite of this. There has to be love, kindness, warmth, justice, mercy, those things. And that's when I would feel this "presence". Of course, I had no idea what it was then.

Many years later, someone brought me to Calvary Chapel. I began to study the bible. One day, I recognized who that presence was with me when I was a little girl. It was Jesus. He was those things. Love, joy, mercy, kindness, forgiveness, compassion. In fact, He was the perfection of all of them. I also recognized that presence that had been with me when I was so small and so unhappy, in that closet. It was God.

Answer 4

It just happened- nothing earth shattering. One day I decided to start reading the Bible I had received when I was a child. And slowly, my eyes were opened to the truth- that Jesus is the Son of God, died for my sins and rose on the 3rd day.
Once that truth penetrated my spirit, I was uncontrollably hungry for the Word and read everything I could.
It was the best thing that has every happened to me and I can honestly say, I would never not believe in Jesus. I also vaguely remember my life from before- proving once again that we are new creations in Christ Jesus.

Answer 5

I heard a knock at my door, It was nothing, I'd ever heard before.
It was in my heart, my life was not working for me. I had this and that all going in different directions. I was exhausted and there had to be a way to come to terms with everything, you see I had found out i had tourettes syndrome and it blew me away. the only thing left to do, I knew what it was. I went to my local church and i asked for prayer. I felt much better after I spoke to the Rev.and decided to go to church the next Sunday. the morning of that next Sunday i was up, very early all excited to go, you see I was ready to turn things around, meanwhile since i was up already i wrote how i felt. turns out i wrote a poem in prayer to God. " this is coming from me' I put it down and went to sleep. later i woke up again and went to service, while they were singing a song, anyone who wanted to come forward was welcome. I did, I dedicate my life to God. now things are entirely different for me. and the rest is history. as they say. I'm now a christian soldier. I feel things i had never felt in my life. I was forgiven and I like myself again thank you Jesus! He worked a miracle that day.
