Self Check!

Do you really know Jesus as Lord and Savior? Most of us say that we do. Lets take a look at what the Bible says about knowing Jesus.

Doctrinal -(Who Is Jesus Christ?)
Having a proper view of Jesus Christ.
John; 1:1-2
(In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.)
Jesus, God the Son, was with the Father in the beginning. Everyone should agree that God created all things. The Scripture tells us that Jesus was God the Father's agent in creating everything in the universe.
John; 1:3
(All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.)
Colossians; 1:16-17
(For by Him all things were created that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him all things consist.)
Hebrews; 1:2
(has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;)

We know that Jesus made the worlds, and He is fully God in every way.
Colossians; 2:9
(For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;)
Jesus was not only fully God but also fully human as well.
John; 8:58
(Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.")
I AM is the name of Yahweh, Lord of the Old Testament.
Exodus; 3:14
(And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'.")
John; 10:30-33
(I and My Father are one." Then the Jews took up stones again to stone Him. Jesus answered them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those do you stone Me?" The Jews answered Him saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God.")
Hebrews; 1:8-9
(But of the Son He says; "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than your companions.")
The text is all the more significant since the declaration of the Son's deity is presented as the words of the Father Himself.

There are many Cults in the world that try to deny that Jesus is fully God and Fully human. They want to say that He is a good man, but not God the Son.

Moral -(Obedience to God's commands)
Do we allow the Holy Spirit to guide us in our daily walk? Do we keep His Commandments? Do we love one another?
1John; 1:6
If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.)
Romans; 8:14
(For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.)
1John; 2:3
(Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.)
John;14:15
("If you love Me, keep My commandments.)
John; 14:21
(He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me.)
1Corinthians; 7:19
(Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters.)
1John; 2:4
(He who says , "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.)
1John; 5:2
(By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments.)
2John;1:6
(This is love, that we walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it.)

Talk is cheap, but if we live the way Jesus has told us too, others will know that we belong to Him. There are many other verses in the Scriptures to let us know if we are walking according to His commandments. We as believers just need to understand who Jesus is and obey Him. He is God the Son, our Lord and Savior who bought us with His blood. He has cleansed us from all unrighteousness and sin. We have eternal life if we have Him in our life.
1John; 5:12
(He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.)
How can you be sure that you that you have eternal life?
Romans; 10:9-10
(that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.)

You cannot earn it or buy it. It is the free gift from God to all who believe in His Son.

God Bless You!
