The Son of God (#1)

I find it kind of odd that most of the people in the world believe in a God they can’t see, haven’t talked to, and haven’t heard from and yet when God does show up in person, in the flesh, then most of those same people don’t believe he’s God. God in the incarnation of Jesus doesn’t look the part. Jesus isn’t what people expected God to look like. Jesus doesn’t look scary enough. In the wilderness God attempted to talk to the people of Israel in his glory, in his true form, but it didn’t work out too well. When God showed up as a pillar of fire and as an ominous cloud full of lightning and thunder the people naturally planted their faces in the dirt and were terrified and speechless. When the Israelites recovered their composure a little bit they managed to run away from God screaming their head off and hiding their faces. God decided to fellowship with his creation in a less threatening guise, as a human being just like them. The lightning, thunder and pillar of fire are still in there, you just can’t see it. God is still God, he just looks like Jesus now and he’ll remain in the human form of Jesus for the rest of eternity in heaven so as to not be scary to us.

Other religions in the world acknowledge Jesus as a remarkable person, a noteworthy Jew and a prophet, but they don’t think he’s God. They aren’t giving Jesus his due. Some see Jesus as a lesser deity, somehow inferior to God the Father. Let me be clear about this, Jesus has always existed as part of the triune Godhead along with God the Father and the Holy Spirit. There is only one God but he exists in three persons. Jesus is God. The Holy Spirit is God. God the Father is God. I know it’s confusing. That’s why I know it has to be true. God the Father decided to create the universe but when it came to the actual work of creating everything we see, that was left to Jesus. Jesus made the earth, our universe, and he made you and me. That means Jesus Christ should be the central focus of every human being on earth. Jesus is the Creator of all things and we’re not giving him the glory and honor that the Lord Jesus deserves.

Every person is born with one purpose in life and we all have the same purpose whether we know it or not. We’re all put here on earth to seek out God and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, because Jesus is God. Our life is a lot like that Predator movie where the mercenaries are dropped off onto a deserted planet and they don’t know why. They have to discover why they’re there and once they do, how they can survive. It’s the same with us. If our life was that movie, then God is the one who puts us on earth. God would play the part of the Predator in the movie of our life but we’ll change his name to Savior. In our movie God is not trying to kill us. Just the opposite. God is trying to keep us from destruction, to keep us from rushing headlong to our spiritual death. God is trying to save us from ourselves.

In the movie of our life God keeps chasing after us and calling us to himself. God in his love, mercy and grace has provided his Word for our guidance. Most important of all, God has provided the atoning death of his Son Jesus Christ to remove our sins. We need only to take the time to evaluate the overwhelming evidence of the truth of God and his Christ and then believe it in order to be saved unto eternal life in heaven and get off this accursed planet. Some will make it to heaven because they took the time to check out the Christian faith and give their lives to Jesus. Sadly, most will perish because they didn’t know they should seek God or didn’t know where to find him when they looked for him.

I know the answer! There’s no other way to safely exit this planet other than by faith in Jesus. It’s heaven or bust! For the Christian believer it’s heaven and for the nonbeliever it’s bust. To “bust” is to go to hell and spend eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone God created for Satan and his demons. I’ve told you the truth and the truth will make you free. All you have to do is act on the information I’ve given you. You now know the script of the movie of our lives. It shouldn’t be called Predator, although the plot line is similar. Let’s change the name of our movie to, “Stalker,” because God pursues us all our lives, to the point where God is known as the, “Hound of heaven.” God loves us enough to never give up on us until the moment of our death. I can personally attest that I was a long time backslider but God relentlessly pursued me for 40 years until I returned to fellowship with my Father. When you’re hunted by God you know it; you can feel it.

In Matthew 22:43, Jesus has given us the most important question in the universe for our consideration. Consider it carefully, because the fate of your eternal soul depends on your answer. Jesus asks all of us, “What do you think about the Christ?” “Whose Son is He?” The Bible declares both the preexistence and deity of Christ. The Apostles Peter, John and Paul taught that Jesus preexisted as did John the Baptist. Jesus himself taught he was God before the foundation of the world. If you don’t believe this you’re not a true Christian believer and the wrath of God abides on you.

John 17:5 – (Jesus speaking) – And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

John 8:58 – (Jesus speaking) – Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.

What was Jesus doing before his incarnation? Jesus was communing with the Father. Jesus was busy creating, and more importantly, controlling the universe. Without Jesus everything in our universe would cease to exist. All the elemental building blocks of our universe would simply melt away without Jesus holding the atoms together. When the old earth is burned up one day to make way for the new earth Jesus will simply withdraw his controlling hand to make it happen. Jesus made the world and he keeps it running. Jesus is the sole judge of the nations of the earth and everyone on it. Only Jesus can let you into heaven and only Jesus can sentence you to hell. The Bible says Jesus is the one whom you should fear. You’d best pay attention! That makes Jesus the most important person in the world to you and to everyone else, both now and for eternity.

And yet most of the people in the world give Jesus the back of their hand without another thought. They’ll rue the day they rejected the mercy and grace of Almighty God! They don’t know what they’re doing. Most of the people in the world have rejected Jesus as God when the proof is right there in the Bible for anyone to discover. When they stand before Jesus on the last day they’ll have no excuse. Those who reject Jesus are no better than the Jews and Roman soldiers who rejected Jesus back then and crucified him. Their fate will be the same, an eternity in the lake of fire and brimstone. See, I have told you. I implore all atheists as well as Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist adherents to listen to me to before it’s too late.

Anyone with no religion or from any of the fake religions in the world who doesn’t accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior before they die will receive the wrath of God on the last day. Their destiny is to be thrown into the lake of fire forever. One hundred billion years is only a blink of the eyes in eternity. It’s critically important for everyone of all faiths to give Christianity an honest look because the evidence for our God and for Jesus Christ is overwhelming. I challenge everyone of all faiths, or no faith, to prove me wrong. I know that Christianity offers peace with God and the peace of God. Salvation doesn’t require us to do any good works and you have the promise of God that you’re saved if you believe in Jesus and God cannot lie. No other religion except Christianity makes this promise of eternal life free to everyone just for the asking.

All of the fake religions of the world demand good works from their members and never give any assurance that they’ve ever done enough to reach heaven. Here’s a secret they don’t want you to know: You can’t earn your way to heaven. Salvation is free to anyone and everyone. I promise you’ll never regret it if you compare Christianity with what you now have, whatever that is. The emptiness you feel inside now is all the proof you need that you’ve made the wrong choice. All these fake religions are run by greedy, power hungry people guarding their own rice bowls. They use the fear of damnation to keep members giving them money, working for them and attending their services, which is why they dare not give their adherents any assurance of heaven. If they did the treadmill would stop and their whole evil enterprise would collapse.

I’m sad to say that the worst offender is the Roman Catholic church. Don’t believe me? Compare every one of the tenets of the Catholic church with what the Word of God says and you’ll discover they are polar opposites. Throughout the centuries the Popes and the Catholic clergy have always implemented doctrines that benefited them at the expense of serving their flocks and the God they say they serve. The Catholic clergy are the modern day equivalent of the Pharisees of Jesus’ day. They are a, “brood of vipers.” Jesus Christ is the most important person in the universe and the Catholic church has stolen his honor and glory and turned him into a “cookie” used only during mass.

If you want to find God seek him out yourself. Don’t depend on others to tell you about God or you’ll be disappointed. Seek out Jehovah, the one true God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Your eternal soul is too important for you to be wrong about God so make sure you serve the right one. There’s still time for you to find the right path to salvation and you’ll know it in your soul when you find it. It’s called the peace of God. Here’s your chance. Don’t blow it. Take the leap of faith right now!

John 1:3 – All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

John 14:6 – (Jesus speaking) – I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 10:30 – (Jesus speaking) – I and My Father are One.

Isaiah 1:18 – Come now and let us reason together, says the Lord.

Isaiah 54:22 – (God speaking) – Turn to Me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

Ephesians 2:8-8 – For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.

John 8:32 – (Jesus speaking) – And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
