The necessity of Messiah’s Deity…
It is the one who has experienced the rebirth (John 3:3) by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and has received the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) that truly recognizes Jesus as God and the necessity for same; those who reject the deity of Messiah are NOT born again by the Spirit of God and they are aliens and foreigners to the things of God. The one major differentiation between the Christian and every religion, sect, cult, in the World is the Christian’s acknowledgement of Messiah’s deity and an understanding of why Jesus as God is essential for our atonement, redemption and justification before the Father.
