“Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said to him...
‘Do you believe in the Son of God?’
He answered and said, ‘Who is He, Lord, that I may believe in Him?’
Jesus said to him, ‘You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.’
Then he said, ‘Lord, I believe!’ And he worshiped Him.” [1]
Some question the deity of Christ, but in this verse He told the man who was born blind, whom He healed, “You have both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you.” The man responded to the declaration of Jesus by calling Jesus Lord and worshipping Him, which would have been an act of blasphemy if Jesus were not Divine.
Jesus told His detractors, “For if you do not believe that I am He [the Messiah], you will die in your sins.” [2]
To be saved from hell and to enter the kingdom of God you and I and everyone else needs to believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and profess Him as our Savior from sin otherwise we will perish in our sins and not enter God’s kingdom.
Jesus stated, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” [3]
Jesus is the only God who lived in human flesh, died and resurrected from the dead, and left behind an empty tomb. No other religious teacher did that.
