The Key Issue in Belief

Who Is the Christ?

When it comes to validating true Christianity, the beliefs about Jesus Christ’s birth, life, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension back to heaven are the ultimate issues!

Major Key Elements (all were prophesied):
The virgin birth of Christ—without a human father.
The sinless life of One who was fully man while fully God.
Going about His Father’s business as He did His Father’s will.
Crucifixion that was without justifiable legal cause.
Bodily resurrection from the grave.
Eye witnesses after His resurrection including over 500 at one time (1 Corinthians 15:6).
His ascension to heaven and His future return to gather His followers.

These core beliefs of the historic Christian faith are the issues to examine in order to evaluate whether any belief system is truly Biblical. Careful examination of these issues will expose any cult.

Jesus Christ said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6).

What one believes about the person of Jesus Christ will determine their eternal future. Study the four Gospels to learn the truth. Examine the rest of the Bible with Jesus Christ in view—He is seen by careful readers throughout all of Scripture.

How about you? Do you have a full understanding of who Jesus Christ is? Does it fully harmonize with what the Bible tells us?
