So before we can be saved, we need to know exactly who Jesus Christ is, the Jesus Christ
found only in the Holy Bible.
Believing that Jesus Christ was a prophet, a great man of God, of course he did many
wonderful miracles such as healing the blind, the maimed, the sick, raising people from
the dead, of course famously he walked on water.
But what we must believe and understand is that Jesus Christ is in fact God in the flesh.
In John chapter one, the Bible reads, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God."
And continuing in verse 14, the Bible reads, "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among
us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and truth."
Here the Bible is calling Jesus Christ with the capital W, the Word, and what we're learning
here is that the Word is God, Jesus Christ is God in the flesh.
And in 1 John chapter five, verse seven, the Bible reads, "For there are three that bear
record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one."
So what we learn is God is three distinct persons in one, the Father, the Word, and
the Holy Ghost, this is the triune God of the Holy Bible.
And in Hebrews chapter one, verse eight, the Bible reads, "But unto the Son he saith, 'Thy
throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of thy kingdom.'"
So God the Father here addressing his Son, the Lord Jesus Christ as God.
So the Bible is very clearly teaching that Jesus Christ wasn't just a man, he was in
fact the God man, he was God in the flesh.
And in John chapter 14, verse six, a very famous passage of the Bible, Jesus says, "I
am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father but by me."
So it is only possible to get to God through God's Son, the God man, the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is not possible any other way.
And to make one final emphasis of this fact, God says in Acts chapter four, verse 12, "Neither
is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among
men whereby we must be saved."
of course, talking about the Lord Jesus Christ.
