My name is Kerrian, and I have something to share with you. I'm always encouraged to see people reaching out to others about God, so I’m reaching out to you now. Did you know that righteousness by faith proclaims that Christ and His father will dwell with us? John 14:23. This is “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27). This is how we get the righteousness of God by faith in Jesus, Philippians 3:9. Please bear with me.
We are saved by faith in Jesus, John 3:16,17, Jesus said he is the only way to his Father and life when he was on earth, John 14:6. The Bible, in Hebrews 2 especially, teaches us why Jesus had to come to earth, and in John 1:12, we realize that through him, we are made sons of God. If God does not truly have a son, as most Christian churches teach, because they say that Jesus is God the Father, how could he have come as the second Adam (Romans 5:18,19, lived a victorious life for us John 16:33, and died so he can now have power over death and him who controls death, Hebrews 2:14, Acts 26:23, raise from the dead, return to his Father to be glorified, Zechariah 6:12-13, 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, John 17:5, and pour out His life through his Father's spirit on us?
In 1 John 5:10-12 we are told that the spirit of the anti-Christ is anyone who teaches that God does not have a son, because they make God a liar. God said he loves us so much, he gave us his son to die, if he doesn't really have a son, then we make God a liar. God has many spiritual sons, but only one begotten son; John 3:16, 1 John 4:9. Jesus said of himself, that he came forth from the Father and that the Father sent him, John 8:42, 16:28, Proverbs 30:4 is worded as such,
“Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?”
Proverbs 8:22-31 speaks of someone who came forth from God and enjoyed all he did, before the earth was made, before the deep was formed. Jesus came to reconcile us to His Father, this is why Paul said,
“But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:6.
The Lord our God is one, but the Lord our God has a Son. That is what Jesus tried to establish here on earth when he came, John 1:1-18, John 5:26. “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.” John 5:26
That is why the Jews tried to stone him, John 5:18:
“Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.”
The Jews understood what Jesus was saying, that is why they claimed he blasphemed. He is from God and is of the same substance of God, because he came forth from him before anything was made. That is why he is the only begotten son. Even his disciples understood that he was in fact God's son, Matthew 16:15-16.
If Jesus is not the son of God and so God can make him born as a child and come as the second Adam, then our salvation is a lie. Everything we are told about Jesus would be superficial, if he is not truly the son of God. How could we inherit son-ship by faith in him, if he is not the son of God?
In Romans 8:9-11, Acts 3:19-20 we are told we receive the Spirit of Christ, and if we do not have his Spirit, we are none of his, But we are told in 1 Corinthians 2:11 onward that we receive the Spirit of God. Romans 8:9 especially speaks of God's Spirit and Christ's Spirit. But it becomes clearer if we consider what Jesus told us, he said he and his Father will come and make their abode with us. Two in one - the Comforter. The entire story of the Bible is about God reconciling man to himself through his son. If this is not so, the entire plan of salvation is a lie, because our salvation is hinged, indisputably, on the fact that God has a son and sent him to save us. It is not God who came to earth, it is God's divine son who came. God has a son. His name is Jesus.
