Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?

The simple answer for this is Jesus is the true Son of God.  

Mark 9:7 (New King James Version)

7 And a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

Jesus is 100% God and 100% man.  God became flesh so that he could suffer at the hands of men and give His life as a sacrifice for us.  By doing this, he negated for us, the need to make sacrifices to God.  He became our sacrifice, therefore making the need to follow the old law unnecessary. He was every bit as human as we are and He is God.  He loved us so much, he suffered immense pain at the hands of man and ultimately died so that we could be in Heaven with Him!

By His Grace, we are saved.  I want to make this very clear to people.  YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY YOUR WORKS!  Your works bring you no closer to Salvation, if you do not believe that Jesus Christ is the true Son of God.  As Christians we begin to desire to work for Christ.  This is out of our love for Him and a desire to serve Him, not because we want rewards.  We are saved through His Grace only.

Ephesians 2:8-9

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Jesus is the Word made flesh.

John 1:1-4 says:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.

 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men.  5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.

Then in vs. 14

 14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only,d who came from the Father, full of grace and truth

Through Jesus we can become Holy, but only through Him.

I Corinthians 1:20

 2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ—their Lord and ours:

Jesus is our righteousness. our holiness, and our redemption.  Without Jesus we can have none of these things. 

 

I Corinthians 1:26-29

26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.  27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.  28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,  29 so that no one may boast before him.  30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 

How do you recognize those who speak the Truth from the false prophets?  

1 John 4:2-6 (The Message)

 

 2-3Here's how you test for the genuine Spirit of God. Everyone who confesses openly his faith in Jesus Christ—the Son of God, who came as an actual flesh-and-blood person—comes from God and belongs to God. And everyone who refuses to confess faith in Jesus has nothing in common with God. This is the spirit of antichrist that you heard was coming. Well, here it is, sooner than we thought!

 4-6My dear children, you come from God and belong to God. You have already won a big victory over those false teachers, for the Spirit in you is far stronger than anything in the world. These people belong to the Christ-denying world. They talk the world's language and the world eats it up. But we come from God and belong to God. Anyone who knows God understands us and listens. The person who has nothing to do with God will, of course, not listen to us. This is another test for telling the Spirit of Truth from the spirit of deception.

The Bible is very clear to us about how to recognize false prophets...if they do not confess openly, their faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, who became an actual flesh- and- blood person, who came from God and belongs to God, this is the spirit of a false prophet.

Jesus IS the Son of God.  He became flesh.  He came from God, He belongs to God.  He saved us from our sins BY HIS DEATH ONLY.  Our works DO NOT get us into Heaven.
