Was the Lord Jesus Christ fully MAN and fully GOD? Does it matter? The answer to both questions is a definite YES. It matters because your salvation depends on it. If you want to be sure of what you believe and why you believe it, this book is for you. It will take you on a journey of discovering the greatest treasure you could ever find - the true identity of the Lord Jesus Christ who died for your sins and is able to give you eternal life.
Even Christians may ask: Who was Jesus before he was born of Mary? Did he have one nature or two natures while living on earth? Who is Jesus following his return to heaven? What do the titles of Jesus say about his identity? Where does the Bible speak about Jesus as God? Can I find evidence for his deity in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament? This book answers your questions directly from the Bible and provides all the evidence you need to prove the Lord's humanity, his dual nature, and his deity. It is designed to enrich you with a more glorious vision of the Lord Jesus Christ, to strengthen your faith, to build your knowledge base so you can refute false teachings, and to have a tool for evangelism.
Whether you want to learn more yourself or need a resource to share with others, you will find this book of tremendous value. Easy to read, yet profound, God's Word will speak straight to your heart.
The authors tell how this book came about...
One day, the discussion in our Bible Study focused on whether Jesus was truly God. Both June and I (Margaret) had previously spoken with people who didn't believe so, or weren't sure, and both of us had been on personal quests to settle this question for ourselves. So when the topic resurfaced, we searched for a book that would present a biblical view, was focused on Scripture rather than lengthy theological debates, and was reader-friendly yet comprehensive and concise. A book we could hand to someone who was seeking answers. When we couldn't find anything suitable, we decided to write the book we wanted to buy. We pray that it will be a blessing to you.
Content
You will find biblical evidence for Jesus' dual nature (two natures combined in the one person), which enabled him to be fully human as well as fully God. Read about who Jesus was before, during and after his earthly life, and how his many titles identify him as God. The volume of Old and New Testament references to his deity will both amaze and encourage you. Additional resources include a full article on the John 1:1 debate (important to understand when discussing Jesus with Jehovah's Witnesses), download information on free eBooks about the Trinity and the return of Jesus in context of God's Eternal Plan, and a personal testimony to warm your heart.
