The Deity of Jesus Christ
There are 7 Essential Principles of Christian Doctrine that we will examine. These 7 are so important that when discussing religious issues both parties must come to agree on these doctrines in order to continue in your discussion. If both parties do not agree on these 7 Principles, then every thing else is irrelevant.
The first is “The Deity of Jesus Christ.” 1 John 5:20 we read: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” The truth is that Jesus, who is the Son of God, has come in the flesh (John 1:1-3, 14) and is God (John 10:30). This fact is absolute.
Of course people may say that the Bible is not the word of God – that’s it’s just a book written by man. We will talk more about that principle later. But the fact is this, that even if a person doesn’t believe that the Bible is the revelation of God the Father to his children does not make it false. Any person can believe that gravity does not exist and can prove it by jumping off a very tall building only to find that they were wrong.
Jesus is who he said he was, that is, He and God are one. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah that has come to gather His sheep together and through the blood that Jesus shed on the cross, we have victory over sin and death and we will spend eternity in Heaven. There is no other way to the Father except through Jesus. The way is very narrow but open to all peoples who will put their faith in Him and call on the Lord to be saved. It’s that simple.
