This post goes into detail on how we come to Jesus, from foundational beliefs you might not have even realized you needed.
How do you come to Jesus? Let’s press the pause button and ponder for a sec?
Pose these questions to yourself: Do I come to Him casually, with hurried prayers, or with holy reverence, awe, and immense delight, with eagerness to be in His presence?
Starting with the idea of “coming,” it’s a pretty straightforward action indeed, but it is twofold. First, it is to come away from something. Second, it is to come to something. The expression here is that as you come to Jesus, you must come out of something else. Jesus, the bread of life, invites us to come to life with Him and believe in Him.
To come requires desire, acceptance, consent, prayer, trust, and obedience, while on the other hand, you come out of apathy, neglect, dissent, refusal, distrust, and disobedience.
What does “Come to Jesus” mean?
When people talk about having a ‘come-to-Jesus moment,’ it shouldn’t be just another trendy phrase. Instead, we should genuinely come to Him for His wisdom and receive His truth and Word. To trust in His ways and rely on His truth is essential.
- Come fully surrendered. Let go of all your presuppositions, shame, laziness, and barriers keeping you from coming to Him fully. Come to Him in prayer, worship, delight, trust, and obedience.
- Receive Jesus. He demonstrated the ultimate act of love when he bore our sins on the cross so that we might die to sin and live for righteousness; “by his wounds, you have been healed.” Accept Him; accept what He has finished for you.
- Believe in Him, which is to trust Him, rely on Him, and cling to Him. It is a trusting love.
What’s the Benefit?
The Benefit is life. We find life when we come to Jesus, we find life when we receive Jesus, and we find life when we believe in Jesus. And it’s not because we deserved or earned it but because God loved us so much that He sent His Son to die on the cross to make way for us to be in a relationship with Him.
Beyond its significance as a sacrificial death, the cross is a promise, a blood covenant, with His Son so that we could have confidence that He would never change His mind about His relationship with us (Hebrews 6:17-18).
For those who are hungry and thirsty, Jesus’ sacrificed life provides sustenance.
Your spiritual hunger is satisfied in Jesus. John 6:35 says, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
Practical Ways to “Come to Jesus” Daily
#1 Communion with Him. To have communion with God, you must be united with Him. When a person is united to Christ, he is born again, justified, adopted, redeemed, reconciled, begins to be sanctified, and will be glorified (1 Corinthians 1:30). Communion with God is only possible through the acceptance of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
#2 Make time to pray. It’s through prayer, we seek God’s will, wisdom, guidance, power, protection, strength, healing, peace, comfort, and sanctification in our lives (and others). Talk to Him. Pull out a pen and write. Share your heart. Find a scripture and turn it into a prayer over yourself, your family, and your enemies.
#3 Listen for His voice. We often think God will speak to us in an audible voice, and He very well can, but God speaks primarily through His Word; what does His Word say? Find the verse and meditate on it. Also, God speaks through creation, people, dreams, prophecy, wise counseling, and suffering, just to name a few other ways He speaks because He’s not limited to one way of speaking.
#4 Always come to Him with a desire to know more. We cannot fathom the mysteries of God. In the same way, when you enter a new relationship, you want to know all the things about this person; likewise, learn all the things about God by spending time with Him, learning His voice, His ways, and how He speaks. Never stop seeking God for more.
#5 Spend Time with Him. Similar to prayer, just start by telling Him thank you, “Lord, thank you for meeting with me.” Spend time in praise and worship, and create an atmosphere centered on the goodness of God.
The Power of Consistency
Reaching goals, surpassing milestones, breaking records, and blazing trails require consistency and discipline, which most people find to be in short supply.
Motivation is not enough, it’s fleeting. While we may need that initial spark to get us started, motivation is not sustaining; consistency is. Consistency is about showing up, taking action, and staying the course over a period of time. You have to be able to keep going when motivation runs out. Success and long-term results are not built on occasional bursts of effort, it’s built on sustained actions repeated over time.
Consistency drives us to achieve more, grow more, and have more long-term results. The power of consistency begins to influence every area of your life– your skill set grows, you stick it out through difficulties, you grow in discipline, and it builds trust and reliability. I wonder, how much more could you be closer to God if you were consistent instead of those bursts of moments you spend with Him? How much more would you hear His voice? There is power in consistency when you just show up even when the motivation is gone.
