How can a sinner know Christ?

A sinner can come to know Christ through an act of faith that acknowledges Jesus as Lord and Savior. In Acts 16:31, when the Philippian jailer asks Paul what he must do to be saved, the answer is clear: 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.' This belief involves not just intellectual assent but a deep trust in Christ's redemptive work. Knowing Christ requires an openness to the Holy Spirit's call, leading to a transformative relationship characterized by faith, repentance, and dependence on His grace. This process shows that salvation is entirely of the Lord, who draws sinners to Himself and reveals His Son to them.
