GOT CHURCH?

Matthew 16: 13-16
When JESUS came into the borders of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" And they said, "Some say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets". He saith unto them, "But who say ye that I Am?" And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the Living GOD."

WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM?

This is the question that every soul must answer unto the LORD. He asks this question repeatedly to those who seek Him. Is your answer like that of the first response or like that of Simon Peter? Who is JESUS to you? Is He a prophet? Is He the return of a  prophet like John the Baptist? OR Is JESUS, GOD incarnate, man Divine? IS JESUS GOD?

 The Church is made up of all those who confess that JESUS Christ is GOD incarnate, man Divine; the second person of the Trinity and One with the Father and the Holy Spirit. JESUS is our Savior, LORD, Redeemer, Friend and Lover of our Soul. He is our provider, sustainer, strength, shelter and guide; our leader, light, King and Law. His law is Love and He is Love personified. He is our ever present help and comfort. JESUS is our everything and all things; HE IS GOD.

The Church is One LORD, One faith and One Baptism; one accord in doctrine and belief, based upon the authority of the Holy Scripture inspired and enlightened by the Holy Spirit. The Church proclaims, 
JESUS IS LORD
THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.
