Cru: Knowing God Personally
Cru’s guide explains an evangelical Protestant understanding of knowing God through Jesus, using Scripture, a concise gospel outline, reflection questions, and suggested next steps.
Why it is useful: It offers another clearly attributed explanation for readers asking what Christians mean by receiving Christ, faith, grace, repentance, and beginning a relationship with God.
Keep in mind: The guide represents Cru’s evangelical theology and should be compared with Scripture and other Christian traditions. Its sample prayer is not a formula that earns salvation.
