If you believe that Jesus is The Christ—“The
Anointed One”, if you trust that He is GOD's Son and your Savior—then you are a
child of GOD.
If you are not born of GOD, you cannot adhere and
rely on the fact that Jesus Christ is The Savior of the world.
Whosoever believeth that Jesus is The Christ is born of God…
1 John 5:1b KJV
Everyone who truly believes that
Jesus Christ is The Messiah is a born-again child of GOD. Such a person is born
of GOD.
And GOD’s Word clearly states:
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is
the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that
Jesus is The Son Of GOD?
1 John 5:4-5 KJV
According to the divine Prophecy of Scripture, The
Christ was to be born as a child—a boy child, in a particular geographical
location in the world (Matt.2:4-6, Isa 9:6a). He will divinely represent,
preach, prophecy and establish GOD’s Kingdom upon the universe (Isa.9:6a).
He
will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace (Isa.9:6b).
Indeed, in the days of Jesus' ministry on earth, He
was a good adviser on personal problems.
He was a counsellor-at-law; our attorney (remember
the case with the woman caught in adultery).
He had legal power to make decisions and act on
behalf of us.
He was Heaven's diplomat to the nations. Overseer
and supervisor of the Church.
He has all strength and power (He died on the cross
and rose again and conquered sin, death, the grave, hell and satan).
He lives for ever (we have the Eternal Life of GOD
in Him and through Him).
He is the divine prototype; progenitor and
originator by Whom we have our connection with GOD as members of His family (we
are co-heirs with Christ and heirs of GOD).
He has the original model of GOD's program and has
handed it to us (the ministry of reconciliation and the message of the cross).
He was outstanding among men—the royal Prince of
Heaven. The leader of GOD's people and ruler over all creation.
He gives Peace (peace which surpasses all
understanding so we can become independent of the world and live above and
apart from entanglement with this material world).
Only The Son Of The Living GOD is qualified to be
The Christ (Mt.16:16). Even the demons confessed that He is The Son Of GOD (Luke
4:41).
In Luke 24:44,
Jesus narrated to His disciples that, everything must be fulfilled that are
written about 'The Christ' in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms. Some
other practical proofs which were to give evidence of whom is The Christ is
that; He will have to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and
repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in His Name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem (see verses 46-47).
A crowd in
Jerusalem argued that He is not The Christ (John 25-27), but still, verse 31
declares that,
...many in the crowd put their faith in Him.
They said, "When The Christ comes,
will he do more miraculous signs than this man?"
He came as The Son
of David (Matt.1:1).
The Bible tells us:
Of the increase of His Government and Peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with Justice and Righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of The Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
Isa 9:7 NIV
