Texts: Romans 5:1–5; 2 Corinthians 5:18–21; John 17:3

A lot of people recognize Jesus. They know the name, the story, the language, and the general outline of Christianity. But recognition is not the same thing as relationship.

In Week 1 of How to Follow Jesus, Pastor Kevin opens Romans 5 and shows that following Jesus does not begin with performance, pressure, or self-improvement. It begins with reconciliation. Through Jesus, sinners are brought near, given peace with God, and welcomed into grace.

This message also shows that eternal life is not only about heaven later. It is life with God now. And that means Scripture and prayer are not religious checklists—they are the daily practices of people who have already been brought near through Christ.

If you have ever confused church familiarity with actually knowing God, this message is an invitation to move from information to communion, from distance to nearness, and from performance to peace.
