God created mankind that we might have a personal relationship with him, that each of us might come to know him, what he is like, his values, his character, and that we may become a part of his family, share his life and his nature. But there are requirements to met to have such a relationship with God.
God wants us to have the kind of relationship with him that some we read about in Scripture had, Abraham for example. The question for each of us is, do I want to have such a relationship with God, and am I willing to meet his requirements for it?
Learn what you can do to develop the kind of personal relationship with God that he desires, or strengthen an existing relationship with him.

In this message Rod Reynolds examines some prophecies from the Old Testament that were fulfilled in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These prophecies give powerful testimony to the truth of Scripture, and the identity of Jesus Christ.
Each individual must decide what he or she will believe about the testimony of Scripture concerning Jesus Christ. The Bible offers us means of examining and testing the evidence for its claims. Whether one ultimately believes the gospel message, however, is not a casual decision to be taken lightly. It is, in the final analysis a matter of life and death, because no one can give you eternal life but God, who is the source of life and the author of salvation through eternal life in God’s kingdom.
Whether you claim to be a believer in Christ or not, it would behoove you to carefully examine the evidence concerning the Bible’s claims about Jesus.
