Having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ affords us with so many benefits and promises. One major benefit is being able to come to the throne of grace with boldness so we can communicate with God one on one. I don't know about you, but I am grateful to God that I can come to Him on my own and not have to relay my most intimate thoughts and personal requests through another person. As we study God's Word and spend more quality time in His presence, this builds our faith and strengthens our confidence in knowing that our salvation is secured. So many times in relationships, it lacks the security and assurance we are looking for, because one or both parties are not giving the relationship the attention that it needs. When it comes to our salvation, we don't just accept Jesus into our heart and sit back and relax; accepting Jesus is only the beginning. Just like any other relationship, it has to be cultivated and will mature through time. The Bible, for an example, mentions the early stages of a new believer as a baby who desires the sincere milk of the Word that he may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2 KJV). This shows we are not fully grown in the Word, knowing and understanding all of the scriptures and wonders of the Bible the same day we are saved; we learn and grow through time and life experiences with God. After reading this book, my prayer is that it will stir up the desire in each individual to get to know God in a close and personal way, and through this desire, become assured in their faith that they will know, without a doubt, they are Saved!
