The Person of Christ

Much truth hinges on knowing the way the power of God works together with a believer. Ignorance of this can lead to misconceptions about who Christ is. Christ could work closely with God, and still can, by faith. His utter belief in God’s love for Him along with knowledge of God’s power enabled Him to do what He did rather than being any different from any other human like ourselves. Ignorance of this can make people mistakenly think Jesus was not made fully human but is somehow God in a bodily form. God gave Jesus life to have as the Son of God distinct from God Himself. Then this life became human flesh. So Jesus is both Son of God and human like us, Son of Man. God is in Him and He in God in just the same way God is in those who confess all this and they in God. So there are many sons of God. A son of God is not to be called God. Neither is Jesus to be called God. Jesus calls the Father His God. We can only hope to have this Father as our God too and our Father too through Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God.
