The essence of christianity...
Romans 1:1-6
"Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures,
concerning His Son, who was born of a descendant of David according to the flesh,
Who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead,
according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord,
through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake, among whom you are also the called of Jesus Christ;"
1 John 4:1-6
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit,
but test the spirits to see whether they are from God,
because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God:
every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God;
this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming,
and now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them;
because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
They are from the world;
therefore they speak as from the world,
and the world listens to them.
We are from God;
he who knows God listens to us;
he who is not from God does not listen to us.
By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error."
Luke 9:35
"Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying,
'This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!' "
Luke 1:35
"The angel answered and said to her (Mary), "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the Holy Child shall be called the Son of God."
Mark 3:11-12
"Whenever the unclean spirits saw Him (Jesus), they would fall down before Him and shout, "You are the Son of God!"
And He earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.
John 1:32-34
"John testified saying,
'I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him (Jesus). I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to beptize in water said to me, "He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit."
I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.' "
Luke 22:66-71
"When it was day, the Council of elders of the people assembled,
both chief priests and scribes, and they led Him away to their council chamber, saying,
"If You are the Christ, tell us."
But He said to them, "If I tell you, you will not believe; and if I ask a question, you will not answer. But from now on 'the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.' "
And they all said, "Are You the Son of God, then?"
And He said to them, "Yes, I am."
Then they said, "What further need do we have of testimony? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth."
John 20: 30-31
"Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written
so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing you may have life in His name."
