Our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ

How do we know Jesus is God? Bible says so. Col. 1, John 1, Hebrews 1, 1 John 1, etc. Multitudes of places proclaim Christ's deity. Our triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit exists co-equally, co-eternally, three persons within the one Being that is the one true God.

Why does He have to be God? Because there is no gospel if He isn't.

What results? Maximum worship…the Father is seeking worshippers to worship Him in spirit and in truth. See John 4:23-24.

What difference does it make? All the difference in this world and the next!

When we sin…we have a sinless Savior whose blood covers – if He were not God we do not have a sinless Savior whose blood covers.

When we are fearful…we have a present Savior who is with us always, able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think…if He were not God we do not have such a Savior. When we worry…we have a Peaceful Savior who says, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you, do not let your hearts tremble nor be afraid.

When trouble comes, in the form of temptation or trial, persecution or condemnation, we have a all-sufficient Savior who is able…if He were not God we would not have this hope, an anchor for our souls, our souls therefore would be aimless and void of any lasting freedom from sin and it’s power and penalty and ultimate presence.

When we are tempted to be discouraged or succumb to self-pity, anger, or resentment, when we feel the magnet-like pull of the world, the flesh and the devil…we have a overcoming, perspective building Savior who has suffered in the flesh, who has been tempted in all ways as we are yet without sin (from the beginning to the end without sin)…if He were not such we would not have such perspective.

When we die…we will be absent from the body and present with the Lord…this is due to the blood-bought sacrifice of Christ on the cross…if it were not so we would not have such a hope. We would still be in our sins. No resurrection, no freedom, only slavery.
