Why is it important to know Jesus?

Answer 1

He loves you, He died for you, and He wants to save you. - 1John 5:20 "And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life".

Answer 2

Jesus was a great leader in Christianity and other beliefs and it is important to learn about him because he was a rabbi or a Jewish teacher so his teachings can also be useful for non-believers

Answer:

It is useful to know about the cultural memes present in the society in which you live. Whether you buy into them or not, many others you run into will have their lives influenced by these "standards" and in turn their behavior may impact on you. In the case of the Jesus meme it is more to the point to learn the culturally accepted "facts" rather than to research from the supporting original documentation.

Answer 3

If you believe in Jesus Christ, then it he can be a good role model and a person to look up to and admire for all the things he did.

Some people also believe that if you believe in Jesus you will be saved.

An answer from scripture:

Acts 4:9-12 - "If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.' Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." [NKJV]
