The Bible declares that Jesus is the Son of the Living God and the Christ, who came to provide righteousness and redemption.
According to the Scriptures, Jesus is not merely a historical figure; He is identified as the Son of the Living God, which emphasizes His divine nature and authority. In Matthew 16:16, Peter confesses, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living God.' This confession affirms that Jesus is the anointed one designated by God to fulfill all prophecies, providing salvation for His people. Furthermore, Jesus Himself affirmed His deity in passages like John 8:24, where He states that unless individuals believe that He is 'I Am,' they will die in their sins. Thus, to understand who Jesus truly is requires a revelation from God and a recognition of His divine mission.
