How I Met Jesus? And How You Can Meet Him Too!How I met Jesus. NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

How I met Jesus was a life-changing experience that I will never forget. It wasn’t a sudden, dramatic moment like some may have experienced, but rather a gradual and gentle awakening to His presence in my life. Through the loving guidance of friends and family, I began to see the beauty and truth in His teachings. As I read the Bible and prayed more deeply, it was as if He was speaking directly to me – comforting me during hard times, challenging me to be better, and providing an unbreakable sense of peace throughout it all.

How you meet Jesus may look different from my own story – maybe it’s through a powerful spiritual encounter or by simply hearing about Him for the first time – but what matters most is how we continue to follow Him once we have met Him. By trusting in His love and wisdom each day, we can navigate this world with grace and purpose. May you too feel inspired by your relationship with Jesus – let His light shine brightly within you! It is a real blessing to get to know God, in doing so, you will discover love in a more meaningful way, understand truth in a new way, gain compassion for others in a new way, find a peace in life like you never experienced before, plus many other things you will gain from meeting Jesus that words can not describe accurately without experiencing. ~ Bill Greguska

 

Romans 10:9  If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Before And After I Met Jesus!

By Bill Greguska

1. Before I met Jesus, I lived for my fleshly desires. Things such as alcohol and drugs were very appealing to me. I was the center of my world. If it felt good to do, it was my motto. I am ashamed that I got high and drunk more often than I would want to admit in my teens and twenties.
2. The moment I met Jesus, I sensed a great deal of confidence and peace that came into my life. It was not like all my problems magically disappeared, but then I knew where to turn for help. There was a part of me that knew without a doubt that God’s way was just what I needed! I had new hope that I did not have before, yet I had a lot to learn and change about my life and what I used to do.
3. After I met Jesus, I gratefully would say that I have been walking with God pretty carefully, I still fall and have problems, but my focus now is on God and his love, wisdom, strength, forgiveness, and how to live these things out in my life with others.
It is so great to have a moral compass to live by, which I call the Bible. Having other Christian friends like Mark Mallwitz and Sue Sauer have helped me with the support and love they both showed me, and by the way, they point me to Jesus when I came to them on the phone, text, or email with my problems. Each day is a new day to walk with the Lord, and His mercies are new every day.

 

 

Have You Met The Lord Yet?

There are different terms used when people discover Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Some call it Getting right with God. Others call it being Born Again. Still, others refer to it as Finding or following the Lord. It does not matter what term you use. Just be sure your relationship with Jesus Christ is legitimate. Some people think that just because they go to church means that they believe they are saved. If you have any hesitation in answering the question, “Have you met the Lord yet?” I would take a closer look at your relationship with Jesus Christ.
  1. Do you have just a weekend relationship with God?
  2. Do you more like tip your hat to Jesus rather than bowing down or bending your knee to Him?
  3. Do you hold on to sin without much guilt or shame?
  4. Has Jesus made an impact on your life?
  5. Are you more of a fan of Jesus than a follower?

After answering these five questions above, do you feel more or less like you have indeed met the Lord yet, or are you sure you are following Him?
