This is a very popular phrase in Christianity: You must have a personal relationship with Jesus.
How would you explain this to someone new to Christianity? How do we have a 'personal relationship' with someone we can't see, touch, or hear?
What does such a 'relationship' look like?
What does your personal relationship with Jesus look like? Does it involve pure faith, intellect, or strong emotions of love as you would feel for another person? Do you hear His voice, audibly or in your soul or mind? Do you have visions of Him?
Does regular prayer time mean you have a personal relationship with Jesus or is that only one small part of it?
I'm asking to try to understand and in pursuit of my own walk with God. I'm asking in part because I've had certain people say this to me and I'm curious what their own relationship with Christ really looked like and what that phrase really means to them but I am not able to ask them personally.
