Jesus is God
The deity of Christ is so crucial that if you do not believe that He is God, you cannot be saved. On earth, Jesus was fully Man and fully God. Yet, Muslims, Jehovah’s Witnesses and many people, deny the deity of Christ. What did Jesus say about Himself? He claimed to be God! If that is true, all those who do not submit to His Lordship will not have life because life is in Jesus. Not until a person accepts that Christ is indeed God He cannot save them. Let us allow the Scriptures to speak for itself.
