The million dollar question who is Jesus, most historians would say he was a real person. After all he is a heavily documented person in history, meanwhile Buddhist say he was an enlightened man. The Bible states he's is God and what I mean by that Jesus states he is God. "9 Jesus said unto him, "Have I been so long a time with you, and yet hast thou not known Me, Philip? He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, 'Show us the Father'?" (John 14:8 KJV21). Here he says he that has seen me has seen the Father/God. "18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God." (John 5:18 KJV21) In this verse the Jews even state that Jesus is making himself equal to God, of course if you're equal to God and you say you are God. In logical conclusion Jesus Christ is God but in human form. Of course people would argue that why would God bother being human? That question has an answer it's because God send himself to save humanity from oppression. That oppression is demonic which leads people to sin or otherwise known as to rebel. Jesus had to die as a final lamb to be sacrificed at the cross to save the world of sin not to condemn it. As stated "And Jesus cried out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me." (John 12:44-55 KJV21) those verses are a lot to unpack but that's why Gods love humanity so much he was willing to die for it. Meaning God put the money where his mouth is, and he took action. God isn't all talk and like the saying goes actions speak louder than words. If you still don't believe that Jesus is God then why not ask Jesus directly after all the whole point is to have a relationship with God. Asking is the first step into believing which leads to repentance and leads to loving Jesus Christ for the sacrifice that he did to save everyone who believes in him. God's word is law as long as you believe in Jesus you will be saved, and remember God doesn't break his promises. Jesus will mold you into being the perfect person you're meant to be, meaning you start off not perfect but over time you'll become perfect person that Jesus wants you to be. Of course it takes time, patience, and of course picking up the pieces when you fail. Failure isn't something to be embarrassed about because as long as you put your faith in Jesus, Jesus will take care of the rest. Meaning you can fall 100 times and Jesus will never ever leave your side that how much he truly loves you. Jesus is all forgiving, patient, and will BE patient for you for as long as you put effort into turning your life around for him. Everyone is on the equal Plainfield everyone is loved by God he has zero favorites and loves us all like his family hence God is called Father.
