Jesus Christ is GOD
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?

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.
