Christians believe this
The apostle John wrote,
"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
In the third chapter of John, John quotes Jesus as saying,
"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.” John 3:16,17.
Christians believe that Jesus is The Son of God, God incarnate. It is the cornerstone of our faith.
Henry Ward Beecher wrote,
“If Christ is not divine, every impulse of the Christian world falls to a lower octave, and light and love and hope decline.” Henry Ward Beecher.
Jesus is a controversial figure today and has been since they day He started His ministry. Likewise those of us who believe in the divinity of Christ find themselves embroiled in that controversy.
The bottom line for me as a Christian, a believer in Christ Jesus is, I believe Jesus is divine. And the way I see it is if I am wrong then I have nothing to fear. I will simply lived a good life.
It is my hope however that anyone reading this who doesn’t believe in the divinity of Jesus, will at least read the New Testament and see for themselves what Jesus and the writers of the New Testament believed about Jesus. Then make up your mind with respect to who you believe Jesus to be.
Please think about it.
