There are things many of us do for the experience, not to gain it but to feel it. Some experiences are incredible and create core memories for us. I’m sure you can think of some experiences you’ve had. When we become Christians there are things we get to experience such as God’s peace or heavenly joy. I love hearing stories from people who give their life to the Lord and what they experienced at the altar. When we used to have testimony night at church, people would share these stories. Mature Christians would also share stories of how they experienced God’s goodness or blessing in their life. We can each testify to things we’ve experienced as believers. What are some of your God given experiences?
Here are some Bible verses on things we can experience as believers:
1. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NLT
2. And it’s true: “Everyone who calls on the Lord’s name will experience new life.”
Romans 10:13 TPT
3. Jesus answered him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a person is born again [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified],he cannot [ever] see and experience the kingdom of God.”
John 3:3 AMP
4. And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did].
Philippians 3:10 AMP
5. Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation.
1 Peter 2:2 NLT
