Son of God Defined!

July 3, 2023 Monday Message:

Romans 1:3-4 NLT: “The Good News is about God’s Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line, and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Being a Christian requires faith in who Jesus is and belief that he can do what he said he can do. Paul gave us a quick summary: Son of God; from the line of David; rose from the dead. That settles it: “He IS Jesus Christ our Lord.”

What Jesus said he would do is take the sins of the world to the place of the dead. In the Great Exchange, we would be forgiven, and Jesus would go on ahead to prepare a place for believers in the heavenly kingdom. Everything else Jesus told us has come to fruition, so we can have full confidence that assurance of salvation is also true.

I knew a man who when he became a believer, said, “This is great news! Just wait ‘til everybody finds out!” And then he set out to do just that – tell everybody! He attended seminary, became an itinerant evangelist and eventually founded a church.

Our lives undergo a radical transformation when we become a believer. It’s a change for the better!
