If you don’t know about the teachings of Jesus, you won’t know how to walk with Him. Judgement is getting closer because men are getting farther away from Jesus everyday. Jesus categorically said that unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. No matter your age or achievement in life, you were once a child. And as a child, God expect that you know Him on time and for yourself. Most people are far from Jesus, hence they bring trouble to themselves. The Joy of Jesus is when He sees people behaving like a child.
When you purposely approach Jesus, you get answers to everything you are looking for. All you need do to get Jesus is to focus on Jesus. When you need something, go and get it. God didn’t say just knock, because you might knock and the door may not open. You keep knocking till the door opens, if God is calling you, ask Him to give you ears to hear Him audibly.
