Like Joan Osbourne do you believe that in order to know him you must be constantly faithful to his principles?

I believe I will meet Him when He comes back for His church, at the rapture, and that we'll be caught up in the air with Him. I believe we're true to His principles because we are saved, and the Holy Spirit lives in us, not that we must live by the law, as Jesus shedding His blood on the cross means anyone who has accepted Him is dead to sin, and cannot die again!

I don't know who Joan Osbourne is, but I think Jesus is more than prepared to meet me. I'm not worried.

Everyone is born a sinner, but when we accept Christ into our lives and hearts he forgives us of all our sins, and then there is nothing we can do that will make him stop loving us. This does not mean we are free to sin, but means Jesus has unconditional love for us. I am living for that Day when I will go to heaven, and Jesus will say "Well done, good and faithful servant." What powerful words from a kind and compasionate Saviour. Ask Christ into your heart today. You will be blessed beyond what anyone could ever imagine.

I know I will meet Jesus face to face one day. I have accepted him as my Saviour, and the day I die will be the day I meet him. As far as being prepared to meet Him??? I don't know if I will ever be completely prepared to. I am still a sinner, and know that without Him my eternity in Heaven would never be possible. It will be an extremely humbling experience. WOW!!!!! (the thought of this makes my eyes well up a bit)

Oh,Praise God! By the "grace of God" It is my sincere hearts desire in prayer, and my faith that I willl see my Lord and Saviors "Holy Face" in peace in all of "His Glory" And that I will be able to stand and be presented faultless before Him in the presence of His Glory. Not only me, but I am striving to live Holy before Christ the Righteous Judge and help encourage others to come, Believe, and accept Christ and be born again so they too, can be Saved in that great and terrible day. What thought! a wonderful Question, really helps born again believers to start taking inventory, because that day is fast approaching. Thank God for a nice clean respectful, and Meaningful question.

I don't think anyone can be constantly faithful. We're flawed, and if Joan Osbourne (whomever she is) is correct, then we can never know Jesus.

Peter denied Christ 3 times.....Jesus even told Peter that he would do that... Peter told Jesus that he would not deny Jesus.... But he did.... Later Peter repented, and went on to be a very strong leader of the early Christian church...... We all fail..... Romans 3:23 states We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God....
No one is perfect.... If we ask Jesus to forgive us of our sins he will, but we must also have faith that Jesus is the son of God.....and he rose from the dead.....

good question this requires integrity and character adding and building to the principles you might start off with. Yes I will meet him I will be prepared for what ever is given to me if God helps me to endure and shows me the way. If UI satrat with small steps steady and suredly I can and will get to this position and be glad in it.

I believe that I will meet him someday and when I greet him I will probably drop to my knees and kiss his feet! I really cant say what I will do but I know it will be something wonderful! I do believe in being faithful but we are human and we do sin, so it is impossible to be perfect and he knows that. I wouldn't try to be unfaithful on purpose that's for sure!

Sure, he's just some guy on a bus right? There's nothing intimidating about that...except the whole rapist possibility. Don't trust strangers on buses...unless they are Jesus.
