it is This confession that is our foundation
^This
amen it’s
what the ot says about Christ the son of God that makes it so imperative and central they all knew the scriptures fairly well so they knew what it meant that the Christ had come israel had waited hundreds of years for him and all the salvation promises of his kingdom made through the law and prophets
“The beginning of
the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;”
Mark 1:1 KJV
“Then Simon
Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?
thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.”
John 6:68-69 KJV
“She saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”
John 11:27 KJV
“And as they went on their way, they
came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See,
here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.
And he answered and said,
I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. ….and they went down both
into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and
he baptized him.”
Acts 8:36-38 KJV
“But
these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
John 20:31 KJV
if we only knew what the Old Testament said about him it would make sense to us all we realize eventually the Bible is about Jesus Christ from beginning to end
“And straightway he ( Paul)
preached Christ in the synagogues,
that he is the Son of God.”
Acts 9:20 KJV
“
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto
the gospel of God, (Which
he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; And declared to be
the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for
obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: Among whom are
ye also the called of Jesus Christ:”
Romans 1:1-6
he’s like the sunlight in scripture. If we put all our faith in Jesus and his word and ability to do what he said and save us because we believe he is the one the ot promised ,
Christ the son of God ,who would come to save us , and he is the one the New Testament declares is our lord and savior who came as the ot witnessed he would were going to be saved without doubt it’s his own declaration from Moses to the prophets to the epistles to revelation
