Every Knee
What does Scripture teach about Jesus?
Q:Neither God nor Jesus stated " Every knee shall bow" to Jesus. So doesnt it contradict what Jesus said "and this is life eternal that they my know you the only true God and Jesus whom thou has sent"?
A: well 1st of all.... you cannot just pick a verse out of the Bible and assume that verse is a full doctrine or full knowledge on the topic. You also cannot assert or create a doctrine "from silence". You must look at the Bible at the whole for the full teaching.
Read the full chapter. AND compare it to the rest of Scripture. That way you will see that
1. Jesus is in the Triune God, and eternally has always been God. A person of the same being. Not like human-beings but the God-being. Tho now he has both the nature of the perfect sinless God (as always), but has added human flesh (dwelt in a human tent on earth), so he is both God and Man now.
2. Jesus is the Just Judge. He will judge the world, you will see that very clearly in the NT where the future is discussed. The 1st time He came as Savior, the second time will be to judge as Judge. The onlo one worthy to open the Sealed Scrolls in Heaven, as the Savior, to pour our judgment justice and wrath.
3. He us the only door to Heaven and only way to Salvation. The entry doorway is only open while you are alive, it is closed once you die. God tells us clearly in Scripture "Today is the day of Salvation" and "after death is only judgement" it is why God has left Christians on earth... to be the messengers of the Gospel, so you can hear the message.
Today you have heard it. And there's 2 things to know:
1. You will make a decision today.
To recieved and cling to Christ for your salvation, or reject Him and possibly die in your sins. There is no guarantee you will live to tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or to age 90. Get right with Him today and begin your eternal relationship with Him, today.
2. If you reject Jesus, you are rejecting the ONLY possible way to salvation. God has only given mankind ONE way to be made right with Him, to be saved. The worse part is, if you reject Him, you will have a worse fate in eternal Hell because you had heard what others had not. And the greater condemnation will be your own fault.
Now with that said, God has been clear, He wants you to believe and trust Him based on EVIDENCE. You can investigate that evidence here. He wants you to know He is trustworthy, He wants to reason with you, and He wants you to come to Jesus asap. He knows your lifespan and when you will die. You do not. Eternity never ends, but this measly 20 to 50 to 90 years on earth cannot be compared with eternity. So make it your priority to investigate this properly.
Ask God to reveal Himself to you through the evidence and His Word (The OT&NT). And then with a sober and purposeful attitude, seek the truth as you investigate.
God bless.
