Right now an intellectualism is infiltrating both the church and the world. It is treating Christ and Christianity as tradition, precepts, and culture; rather than the Truth that Jesus Christ is a living God, and we have living relationship with Him. There is increased pressure in churches to keep everything in realm of skepticism, to treat Christianity as one road among many, and at best some principles for life; but this false! Christianity is the truth that Jesus Christ is God and Lord, and the only way to eternal life and heaven (John 6:40, John 14:6, John 17:3). Jesus is real, He is as real as you, and me, as real as everything we see and touch, He is and exists always (Hebrews ), and He is here right now, living in every Christian who confesses and knows Him. Who thought that we would have to defend the living faith, that Jesus is Real, can be felt, and Exists, and is God to churches! Oh Lord Jesus come quickly on clouds, for the Liberal and Libertine Christian cults are infecting your Church with false christs like the historical Jesus (that sees Him just a man and philosopher), Rabbi Yeshua [which makes Him out to be just a rabbi or teacher], or prophet Isa (Matthew 24:24-28). Even now, in National Geographic called the "Real Jesus" they are trying to take it one step further, saying Jesus may have never existed. Jesus does exist and always has existed! (John 1:1-15).
Jesus is God and Jesus is Man (John 1:1-17, 1 John 4:15, John 10:30, 1 John 4:1-3, Colossians 2:9, Philippians 4:5-11, Titus 2:13, Revelation 19:11-16). He really came two thousand and seventeen years ago, and died on cross for our sins and rose from dead. He is seated with Father in heaven, an is coming on clouds of heaven to rule this world and create the next world (Revelation 20:4-7, Revelation 21:1-53). We hold to this truth, that Jesus is the One True God, of the Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, One God in Three Persons. He is our Lord and Savior, Master and Creator, King and God, Holy One. He is as real as air we breath, the water we drink, and the food we eat. Jesus made all things (John 1:3, Colossians 1:16) and holds all things together (Colossians 1:17). Everything you feel, see, touch, taste, hear, and experience was made by His hands, what makes it evil is weither it is abused, misused, and tainted by evil powers and sinful actions. Jesus is Real, He is present, He is here, He can be felt, He appears to Christians around the world, takes some to heaven to experience His throne (2 Corinthians 12:1-24, Revelation 1:1-24), and He is Coming Soon to bring salvation to those who stand firm in their belief in Him, faith in Him, and relationship with Him. (Hebrews 9;28, Matthew 24:13).
Christ is not a idea, He is an individual. He is not some impersonal cosmic force, nor is He simply a fiction and parable of virtue and behavioral teachings. Christ is God become Man (John 1:14), who has saved us from our sins, He has mind, a Spirit, and Soul, all of which were a model for our very own mind, body, and spirit when He created us in beginning (Genesis 1:26-27) and individually formed us in our mother's wombs (Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139:13, Ephesians 1:4). Jesus is not a guru, a mere teacher of religion like Pharisees, a philosopher, or desert preacher and prophet like John the Baptist, Jesus is God, Savior, Teacher of Teachers, High Priest, and King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Most false christs, that is false impressions, false understandings, and false versions of Christ are evented by a man or demon who error on one of two ends, they either affirm His deity and deny his incarnation, that He became a man (Wiccan, New Age, Satanism, Nestorianism, Zoroastrianism), or they affirm his humanity, that he is a man and deny his deity (Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Coptic Church, Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons). The Truth is Jesus both Deity and Man, God become a man. Other false christs appear in this day and age, claiming to be the returned Christ in their little cults, and Jesus Christ spoke of them, "For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them. For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. Wherever the corpse is, there the [q]vultures will gather. " (Matthew 24:24-28).
Everything that is true is contained in Holy Bible. The Bible testifies that God is Jesus, God is Father, and God is Holy Spirit, One God in Three Persons. Jesus is real, He made all reality as we know it, and the realties we cannot see, but feel or know exist. Jesus is Real, He has body, and yet is everywhere at once (Acts 17:27-28, 1 Kings 8:27, Psalm 139:7-12). Do not let anyone deceive you into thinking He is just revelator, first guru, a prophet only, and etc.; or some cosmic force, some spiritual cherub, or a demigod like Hercules, He is not! Jesus is God and Man, He is the One True God of Israel come in flesh (body)! Jesus is greater than all angels, and cosmic beings (Hebrews 1:1-14, Hebrews 2:1-15). Jesus was not created, He always has existed with Father and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-17, John 17:5, John 8:48-58). He came in human flesh, born of Virgin Mary, but He was not made [created] by angels or the Holy Spirit or Mary but rather Holy Spirit came upon Mary and Power of Most High overshadowed her (Luke 1:25); Jesus took on flesh, He was sent forth, not made, because He always existed (John 1:1-17). Jesus was born as child to Mary, to come into this world to die for sins of mankind. He lowered Himself for a time (Philippians 2:5-11 NLT), and now is exalted forever! Amen.
Jesus Christ is real, and can be felt by those the Holy Spirit leads (at conversion experience) and by those who believe in Him (disciples, followers, Christians), "that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children," (Acts 17:27-28 NASB), "All who confess that Jesus is the Son of God have God living in them, and they live in God," (1 John 4;15), "to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory," (Colossians 1:27), "Don't you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you?," (1 Corinthians 3:16), "But Christ is faithful as the Son over God's house. And we are His house, if we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of which we boast," (Hebrews 3:6), "so that, if I am delayed, you will know how each one must conduct himself in God's household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth." (1 Timothy 3:15). Jesus is not far away, He is Real and Close in relationship to those who believe in Him and know him personally in a belief that is set out in Scriptures, New Testament, John 6:40, John 3:16-18, 1 John 4:15, Romans 10:9-10, and etc. The Bible isn't some cultural text book, it is God Breathed (2 Timothy 3:16), it contains the words of Christ and his Apostles, how to be saved and get eternal life in Jesus, and how to know the real Jesus, not the imposters created by false religions from Hinduism to Islam, and beyond. The Bible is the key (because it has how to have faith and to believe properly and rightly about Jesus), but the Door is Jesus Christ. The Bible tells us how to have faith, to know that God is a Trinity, and that Jesus is the only salvation and way to heaven (John 14:6, John 6:40), and may know Jesus in personal relationship (John 17:3, John 17:20-22). Amen.
