Do you desire to know the saviour more than you do presently? Whatever your reason for desiring to know Christ, knowing the Lord more is a huge step towards a more glorious life full of peace, victory and blessings. This article teaches you how to know Jesus more.

That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death - Philippians 3:10 (KJV)

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you - John 14:26 (KJV, emphasis is mine)

Life without Christ is life full of crisis. That means, the deeper you know Christ, the farther away from crisis you get. Also, since Jesus is the way to God the Father, the closer you are to Christ the more access you have to God's blessings. Therefore, learning how to know Christ more is a wise thing to do.

How to know Jesus more

1. Have an open heart

Ask God to give you an open heart to learn more about the Lord. A mind clogged with philosophy and traditions of men will find it difficult to know the Lord more. There is need for you to have an open mind towards the gospel of Jesus so He can reveal Himself to you.

2. Ask for the help of the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is there to reveal Christ to you, so engage His help. He is the most authentic person to consult about Jesus. Just ask Him to teach you more about Jesus and expect Him to do so and I tell you He will.

3. Study the bible

If you want to know more about anybody, read about the person. Likewise, if you want to know Jesus more, study the bible. The scriptures, from Genesis to revelation, are centred on Jesus Christ. They talk about Him; Jesus is the word of God. Also, the Word is spirit and life and so it imparts your life. No man or written materials can correctly inform you about Christ better than the bible.

4. Pray

The longer you stay with an individual, the better you know him or her. So also, the more time you spend fellowshipping with God in prayer, the better you get to know Jesus. This is because you can't get to the father except through Jesus; your prayer is in the name of Jesus and your fellowship is with God the father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

5. Be thankful and praise-full

You can't learn much about the Lord without a heart of gratitude. God inhabits the praises of His people. A heart full of Praise and thanksgiving attracts Jesus anytime and anywhere. And when He comes He reveals Himself to the person. Praise invokes revelations from God, including revelations about Christ.

6. Be obedient

Obedience opens you up to deeper knowledge of Christ. It is an important step on how to know Jesus more. Jesus reveals Himself to those who obey His commands. You will know Christ more as you obey His instructions.

7. Be open for correction

When you are not open to corrections from Jesus you cut yourself off from Him. Through corrections from the Lord, we are delivered from the evil one. And anybody who hates correction cannot know the Lord more and is heading for a disaster.

In conclusion, it is possible to learn how to know Jesus more. Act on the steps above and you will certainly know Christ more. They that do know their God shall be strong and shall do exploits.
