Do You Know About Jesus… or Truly Know Him?

There’s a sobering passage in Matthew 7:23 where Jesus says, “I never knew you.”

He wasn’t speaking to atheists or pagans — He was speaking to people who claimed to follow Him.

There is a difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Jesus.

You can attend church, read devotionals, and still miss intimacy with Him.

Paul declared in Philippians 3:8–11 that everything else in life was worthless compared to truly knowing Christ.

Jesus longs for intimacy with you — not perfection, but relationship.

He wants to walk with you daily, speak to your heart, and make Himself real to you.

He wants to be more than a distant figure… He wants to be your Savior, Lord, and closest friend.

John 10:27 — “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

Don’t settle for a surface-level faith. Draw near to Him — and He will draw near to you (James 4:8).

Declaration

“I declare that I will not settle for knowing about Jesus — I will know Him intimately. I will walk with Him, hear His voice, and follow His lead. My relationship with Jesus will be real, personal, and powerful. I am His, and He knows me by name.”

Prayer

Father, Thank You for calling me into deeper relationship with You. Forgive me for the times I’ve settled for religion instead of intimacy. Jesus, I want to know You more — not just in my mind, but in my heart. Draw me closer to Your presence. Speak to me daily. Let my life reflect that I truly walk with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
