Jesus is the Son of God

“Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (I John 4:15)

John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, was in the group of disciples at Caesarea Philippi when Jesus asked them, “Whom do men say that I the Son of many am?” And they said, “Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some Elijah, and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” He saith unto them, “But whom say ye that I am?” And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matthew 16:13-16) That confession was the right answer, affirmed by Jesus and revealed to Peter by the Father. John tells us in our text that this confession is the correct answer.

Jesus said that it is not a matter of what others may say. What do you say in answer to the question, “Who say ye that I am?” He is more than a prophet, a teacher, a preacher, miracle worker or a good example for us to follow. He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He is the Savior, the only Savior of lost people.
