Jesus is God.
Only those who are called, literally, who come to faith see this.
It is what Jesus said to Peter. He could only know Jesus is the Christ because the Father revealed it to him.
Again Peter declares only because you know Jesus, God, can you say He came in the flesh, died and rose
again.
Those who deny this reality do not know God.
Why? Because the whole central core of salvation is the relationship with God through faith.
The reason why the new covenant is so unusual and replaces or fulfills the old because when we know God,
know the Kingdom, know God as a man, walking with us as a brother, then the true essence of everything comes
to light.
I have had people call me evil, satanic, for declaring this obvious reality from people who have come to faith, but
claim to be filled with the spirit and speaking the Lords words.
A mark of a believer is the knowledge of what love is and how God expresses it in everything He does.
I have been surprised at how some "christians" are being led by their feelings and belonging to a group rather
than knowing what is good, upright, holy and true.
A prophet in the old testament was sent with a message, and told not to stop with anyone. He gave the message
and another prophet lied to him, saying God had changed His mind, and so he ate, was judged and killed by a lion.
God does not change. His word is eternal and true. If one claims to know God and have real experiences in
Christ, convictions can still be wrong, and error creep in unless we are careful and check our feelings and convictions
against His word and the love He placed in our hearts.
