Committing our lives to Jesus Christ is having a relationship with Him. But this relationship has to be developed and this involves getting to know Him better. Jesus wants us to know Him and that was why He asked His Apostles a question connected to His identity in Matthew chapter 16. In verse 13, He asked them; "Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?"

When Jesus asked the above question, His Apostles gave different answers in response. Continuing from verse 14 of Matthew chapter 16 it says; "And they said, some say that thou art John the Baptist; some; Elias; and others; Jeremias or one of the prophets". But He said to them; "But whom say ye that I am?" Then Peter spoke up and said; "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Apostle Paul was keen on knowing Jesus as the Son of God. The evidence is recorded in his writings in Philippians chapter 3: 10 where he said; "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, being made conformable unto His death". This is very deep.

For us today, the best way for us to get to know about Jesus is to read the Bible with the help of the Holy Spirit so that we can have revelations of Him as it appears on every chapter and pages of this wonderful book. Only then can we be able to see His claims concerning Himself and the writings of others in the Gospels.

Even though there are revelations of Jesus in the Old Testament of the Bible, the first four books in the New Testament are the Gospels or the "good news" of Jesus Christ. They were written in the first century A.D. and were based upon eyewitness accounts of the life of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
