- In Matthew 16 Jesus asked his disciples, who do people say that the Son of Man is? They said, well some say
- 00:08
- John the Baptist or Elijah or another prophet. And he said, but who do you say that I am? Peter replied, you are the
- 00:14
- Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus said, blessed are you, Simon Bar -Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my
- 00:21
- Father who is in heaven. Anyone who worships Jesus as God believes because God has revealed it to them.
- 00:26
- In John 6 Jesus said, you have seen me and yet do not believe. All the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me
- 00:33
- I will never cast out. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.
- 00:39
- Not only does the Father reveal the Son, but the Son reveals the Father. In Matthew 11 Jesus prayed, all things have been handed over to me by my
- 00:46
- Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the
- 00:53
- Son chooses to reveal him. So the reason a person doesn't believe in God is God's fault?
- 00:58
- No, it's because of our sin. The Bible says none are righteous, no one does good, and no one seeks for God.
- 01:04
- All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We are justified by His grace as a gift.
- 01:10
- Those who are in the flesh are hostile toward God, but those who have been changed by His Spirit do what is pleasing to God, including believe on His Son Jesus Christ.
- 01:19
- We love Him because He first loved us. That we don't know God is a judgment because of our sin.
- 01:25
- That we know God is a blessing because of His mercy. It's by His amazing grace that anyone is saved when we understand the text.
