Personal
The following story, related by a Christian mountaineer, illustrates the truth of the importance of a personal relationship with the Lord:
One summer I spent some time at Mount Robson, British Columbia, where I camped and lived with fellow mountaineers of the Alpine Club of Canada. On a rainy day a group of us were drinking tea in a tent, when a discussion arose about religion. A young scientist turned to me with a rather patronizing air and said, “But you don’t really believe, do you, that Jesus is the Son of God? How do you know it’s true?
I shall never forget what followed. I simply did what any other convinced man would have done: I looked him straight in the eye and said: “How do I know that Jesus is the Son of God? I know it, because I know Him personally.” For at least half a minute our eyes locked. Then he turned away. The discussion was over.
The Apostle Paul said, “I know whom I have believed” (2 Timothy 1:12). Do you enjoy a personal relationship with Him, can you say, “The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).
