---JESUS CHRIST:
---THE SON OF GOD~
--(Read John 1:1-2)
~~~~~~~~
-HAVE YOU EVER HEARD SOMEONE deny that Jesus claimed to be God? Such a statement simply does not make sense. Repeatedly, Jesus placed Himself on equal footing with the Father and the Holy Spirit (John 10:30;14:6-14). Scripture gives us a clear picture of Jesus' eternal, intimate relationship with the heavenly Father.

Why is it important for us to believe this? Because Jesus did something that has never been done before: He enabled men and women to see God in a new way. In Colossians 1:15, Paul explains that Jesus is the "image of the invisible God." No one has ever looked upon the face of the Almighty. In the Old Testament, some people were confronted with God, but they were never able to look fully upon His glory. In fact, even Moses, who is called a friend of God (Ex. 33:11), could not look directly at Him. At best, Moses had the opportunity to look upon God's back as He passed by, but never saw His face (vv.18-23).

Jesus came to bridge the gap between God's glory and mankind's sinful nature. Therefore, Jesus could say, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John. 14:9).

--We read in James 2:22-23, "You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that say, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." and he was called God's friend.~~ -
