Why is knowing Jesus Christ personally important for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Knowing Jesus personally is crucial as salvation is based on a relationship with Him, not just knowledge about Him.

In the context of salvation, personal knowledge of Jesus is indispensable because it signifies a relationship that goes beyond mere intellectual understanding. The Apostle Paul expresses this in 2 Timothy 1:12 when he states that he knows whom he has believed. This kind of knowledge involves trusting not just in doctrines but in the person of Jesus Christ who accomplished salvation for His people. Jesus emphasizes this point in John 17:3, where He states, 'This is eternal life, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent.' Thus, salvation is experienced deeply when one recognizes Jesus as their Savior and Lord, leading to assurance of eternal life.
