He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. ^{Matthew 16:15-16}

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. He was God incarnate, the word (revelation) of God living among us. ^{Read John 1:14} He is our advocate in heaven, ^{Read 1 John 2:1} and the light of the world. ^{Read John 8:12} Jesus is God, he is not a created being. All things were created by him ^{Read John 1:3} and all things were created for him. ^{Read Colossians 1:16} In Jesus alone is life. ^{Read John 1:4}

Jesus is our only hope in this life and for salvation in the life to come. ^{Read John 14:6}

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. ^{1 Peter 1:3-5}
