Jesus is

Jesus is
The apostle John states,
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  
He was with God in the beginning. 
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  
In him was life, and that life was the light of men....
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”John 1:1-4,14.
The apostle Paul writes,
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.” Colossians 2:9
The writer of Hebrews states,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.  
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” Hebrews 1:1-3.
The apostle Paul tells us,
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8.
The apostle John quotes Jesus as saying of himself,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”. John 3:16-18.
These are the bedrock beliefs of all Christians. You cannot be a believer in Jesus Christ and not believe these things. They are not left to interpretation they are fact.
Simply put,
Jesus is God incarnate, God in the flesh.
Jesus is the creator of the universe and everything in it.
Jesus came to earth to show in human terms how far God was willing to go to point man to heaven. To pay the price for our sins.
Jesus gives us a Choice believe in Him or not.
Those who believe are not condemned. However those who do not believe are condemned “for they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.”
Do you believe this?
Please think about it.
