Which Jesus Do You Believe in?

     People have all kinds of beliefs when it comes to Jesus.   
     Some believe that He was only a man. They believe He existed, taught about God's ways, and did good things for others. Some even believe He died for sins, but was only a man, not God.
     There are those who believe that He was God, but not a man. He came to this earth as God only, although looked human in appearance, but He possessed no humanity.
     Some believe that although He existed, He was not the Messiah or Savior of mankind.
     These views of Christ are all false and present a different Jesus than the one the Bible shows us. They are just idols, the inventions of man's futile thinking. John warn us that if we believe in a different Jesus we are unbelievers. In fact He calls those who believe this way antichrist!
     It is vital to our salvation that we know who Jesus is, and that we are following the true Christ whom the scriptures present.
     John writes that we must believe Jesus is the Messiah, that is anointed one or Christ (1 John 2:22).
     To deny the Son, is to deny God (1 John 2:23).
     We must confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh (1 John 4:2-3).
     Jesus is God in the flesh, and we must confess Him as such (John 1:1-5, 14-18; 1 John 4:15).
     To step out of the doctrine of Christ is fatal to our souls (2 John 1:7-9).
     We must be careful that we do not receive a different Jesus than the one taught by the Apostles, and presented to us in the word of God (2 Cor 11:4). There are many deceivers in the world, and to put our faith in a different Jesus will lead us to hell. there is only one Jesus who can save our souls, and we must follow Him.
