The Son of Man came to seek and save that which was lost. It is Jesus' favorite title of Himself. I chosen this title because Jesus loved this title of Himself. We ought to never forget that Jesus is fully God and fully man: two natures in One Person. He is the God-man, the Incarnate Second Person of the Trinity. May we mediate on His life, death, burial, resurrection and ascension that we may be conformed to the image of the divine Son of Man! This blog web site will be a Christian defense of the Reformed doctrines of the Incarnate Son of Man. May all glory be to His name!

Do Not Reject God's Son

The Bible teaches us that if we reject God's only Son, Jesus Christ, we also reject God the Father.  Let us look carefully at what the divine Word teaches to get a better understanding.

1 John 1:3 KJV
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
1 John 2:20 KJV
20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
1 John 2:23-25 KJV
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1 John 4:6
 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

The Bible is clear that Jewish people who pray to Jehovah as God the Father need to acknowledge God the Son in order to accept God's divine and written revelation.  We have a special and divine understanding of God's Word because He has blessed us to clearly see what it means as believers in Christ.  They must also accept the Holy Spirit, but He is not an impersonal force but the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity.  Many Jewish people say the God of Christianity is a three-headed God, but it is simply not the case.  The God of the Bible is one in being or essence or unity, but He is also three in person.  There are not three manifestations of God but three persons that are the one true God.
