Pastor Tom Clinkscale

<p>A genuine faith in Jesus Christ is revealed when it generates intense commitment, informed convictions, and invigorated connection.<br></p>

<p>Jesus reveals His divine equality and complete authority over all things because He is the Lord God, and only the supernatural work of God can bring a diseased rebellious heart to submit to His<br></p>

<p>Jesus' defense of His divine equality reveals to everyone, He is uniquely the son of God and equal with the father with all authority and power declaring life and pronouncing judgment and deserving of equal honor with the Father.<br></p>

<p>Jesus’ deity (the doctrine that He was God) is a foundational belief of Christianity and Jesus is giving witnesses as testimony evidence of Him being God and our Savior and Lord.&nbsp; If we don’t believe who He is, then our faith is not Christian faith, the gospel is powerless, and has no power to save sinners.<br></p>

<p>There are serious consequences for denying Jesus’ deity that will lead to the ultimate consequence of eternal judgment.<br></p>

<p>Believing there is no one greater than Jesus means we will fully trust in Him and not our expectations or imagination about Him.<br></p>

<p>Jesus is the bread of life; he’s the only one who can fill the emptiness inside us. A full life is a life spent in pursuit of Jesus. A life spent any other way will feel barren and unfulfilled.<br></p>

<p>Our greatest spiritual hunger is to have our sin exposed, cleansed, and help others do the same.<br></p>

<p>Be led by the Spirit.<br></p>

<p>Rightly judging and concluding who Jesus is and what He teaches is true and has full authority requires a will that wills to do God’s will.<br></p>
