How do Christians today come to know Jesus?

Answer 1

Answer Church, every Sunday morning.

Another Answer A lifelong relationship with someone you love is not a one hour a week thing. It is 100% of the time that we can know Him and walk with Him and experience His leading, directing, teaching and (ouch) correction.

The word of God, much disrespected today in some Christian circles, is one of Jesus' primary methods of teaching us about Himself. It tells us specifically how we may know Him. Obedience is stressed in a number of places:

John 14:21 (King James Version) 21He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. If we're not ready to follow and obey the Holy Spirit is grieved. As Tozer said 'Truth will not give itself to a rebel' and 'If you're disobeying Jesus Christ you can't expect to be enlightened.'

Further to this, Jesus encourages people to seek Him:

Matthew 7:7-8 (King James Version) 7Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. John 6:37 (King James Version) 37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. It must also be said that all this is possible because everyone is able to know Jesus because we have been made that way -to seek after God. This is possible because everyone has sufficient light to know Jesus, who is Himself the light of the world.

John 1:9 (King James Version) 9That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Another View:

I think a Christian should already know Jesus. If you are a Christian and you don't know Jesus then you should ask yourself why is it you call yourself a Christian. According to The Bible a Christian is a person who has seen that their relationship with God is broken - because of sin - and because of this broken relationship they will face condemnation. But then God has made a way for them to restore their relationship with Him, that is through believing Jesus died and took their condemnation on Himself (followed by repentance and baptism) . Believe this and God says "when you beleive in Christ, God will put his stamp of ownership on you by giving you the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the guarantee that you shall receive what God has promised his people", - Ephesians 1: 13,14
