QUESTION RECEIVED: (As received from Asia)

Question: Good Morning Brother and Sister in Christ, My Question was "Other religion say that they don't believe Jesus is God as we do. They said to me that if we do believe in Jesus Christ as our God, and God has a Son in the name of Jesus, Their question is who is the son of Jesus if He is the God? Can you please answer so I can tell then what exact passage I could refer to them that Jesus is the One and true God. God Bless!

MY ANSWER:

Do you want to share the peace and salvation for the world?

If you do want to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ be prepared to receive the hate, contempt and scorn of the world and other religions.

Blasphemy charges and bitter hatred were aimed at Jesus when He acknowledged that He was/is God.  That is what ultimately led men to crucify our Savior.

As I was writing this blog a sweet lady from the Jehovah’s Witness church came to my door to evangelize me to a belief in a savior who was just a man. (Yes, this happened today and is not a preaching illustration.)  Many good, in the world’s eyes, men have died.  They saved no one for eternity nor rescued their immortal souls.  Only God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, could pay for our sins with His punishment and death on the cross.

I am praying that sweet Jehovah’s Witness lady will read this blog after my witness of the God/Man Savior to her.

This belief that Jesus is God is why people can go to God through the power of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection.  The idea that Jesus is God is also what will make others turn and deny him angrily.

The saving gospel is that through the perfect life, death and resurrection and the assurance that one day He will judge righteous and claim His own - can only be true if Jesus is God.

Jesus can only be the world’s Savior if He lived a perfect life.  He did. how?  John 1:14 says He was God in the flesh.  That is how we know, He, Jesus lived a perfect life.  Only God can pay for our salvation. God the Holy Spirit draws people to Him.  We sinners then repent or turn to Christ for forgiveness and salvation.  He became our sin on the cross and paid the price of our sin.  In judgment God the Father declares us righteous when through faith and because of his grace we now have pardon of sin, peace with God and become citizens of Heaven. 

The Trinity expression means that God is in three persons.  The Father, Son and Holy Spirit have distinct personalities but yet are all fully and equally God.  This is a truth and great mystery.

Understanding that Jesus is God is essential to Salvation and being a Christian.

Other religions think this is crazy or blasphemous.

This is a great truth that the world rejects with scorn.
To answer your question -No Jesus does not have a son.  He has brothers and He calls you to be one.

Here is a saving, sin breaking revelation given to us from the early Apostles –

JESUS IS LORD!!!  

 *** Below are Scriptures that show Jesus was and believed He was God.

GOD BECAME FLESH – JESUS WAS FULLY GOD AND FULLY MAN

John 1:14 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

JESUS-THE DEITY, RECEIVED WORSHIP FROM MEN

John 9:38 38 Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” And he worshiped Him.

JESUS UNDERSTOOD HIS RELATIONSHIP YO GOD HIS FATHER
