- If you’re short on time, here’s a quick answer to your question: Jesus Christ is important because he is believed to be the Son of God who was sent to redeem humanity from sin through his life, death and resurrection. His teachings form the basis for Christianity and have impacted billions of lives over 2000 years.
Jan 4, 2022 · The statement “Jesus is Lord” means that Jesus is God. Jesus has “all authority in heaven and on earth” (Matthew 28:18). He is Lord of the Sabbath (Luke 6:5). He is “our only Sovereign and Lord” (Jude 1:4). He is, in fact, the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14).

I believe the Bible teaches that saving faith is a trusting and treasuring of Jesus Christ that rises from a Spirit-given sight of the truth and greatness and beauty and worth of Jesus as we see him at work in the gospel. And what David rightly sees in this understanding of faith is that faith is not mere agreement with facts about Jesus, and it’s ...
So let me come at it like this. Let me try to at least partially demystify the idea of God’s revealing his glory. Those very words may just sound like nonsense to some people. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Jeremiah 10:12 then puts meat on those bones: “It is [the Lord] who made t...
But the reason it’s only a partial demystification is that apart from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, we won’t see this glory for what it really is — namely, God’sglory. So, if there is a partial clarification of the revelation of God’s glory by looking at nature, maybe David will be able to make the transition to the revelation of the gl...
So, David’s question is, “If Satan blinds the minds of unbelievers the way 2 Corinthians 4:4says he does, and if we by nature are resistant to the beauty of God’s supremacy, what can we do?” What should he do? That’s what he’s asking. “Pastor John, tell me what I can do. Is there anything?” He says, “I can’t do anything,” but that’s not true. So, h...
So those are four things, David: renounce pride, read the word, turn to Christ, and pray for sight. And I would just close with this. Maybe go online and get a copy of the song “Come, Ye Sinners, Poor and Needy,” and sing it or say it, especially this verse:
Jan 4, 2022 · Jesus tells us in John 17:3, “Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” Here Jesus is telling us that our continuing to seek God, desiring to know Him more, is the essence of true life, eternal life.
Seeking Jesus means making him the number one priority in your life. God gives us an open invitation to an amazing relationship with him. In his fatherly love, he gives us the choice to accept the invitation or refuse it – known as free will. His door is wide open and it’s up to us whether we enter.
- Truth. The truth is in Christ. He is the truth. You cannot know the truth without Jesus Christ. Paul says all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in him (Col 2:3; Eph 4:21).
- Life. If you are reading this you are alive, and may think that Jesus Christ has nothing to do with it. However, the life you have now was given to you, and it is destined to end.
- Death. None of us escapes death. The science we have about death tells us we are all dying a little bit each day.There is no science that describes what happens after you die.
- Sin. Everyone sins, including the most self-righteous religionists and church-goers. Without Christ what becomes of our sins? They must be accounted for, and without Christ they are all accounted to you.
Aug 19, 2009 · It is a conscious choice to direct the heart toward God. This is what Paul prays for the church: “May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ” (2 Thessalonians 3:5). It is a conscious effort on our part. But that effort to seek God is a gift from God.

Jun 28, 2016 · Christ is Lord over all because in his human nature he has accomplished perfect obedience, has won salvation for us, and has been given universal dominion as a reward. As a result of his resurrection and ascension, Christ has been enthroned at the right hand of God the Father, with universal dominion:
