NAMES AND TITLES OF CHRIST

           NAMES AND TITLES OF CHRIST

      Think of the darkness that held the world

in its grip before Jesus came to give man

God's glorious light.

     The scriptures of the Bible give Jesus a

few titles that express His reason for being

sent to the earth. The following titles are

given Him as one reads the Bible:

1. He is called the SON OF GOD. (Mark 1:1)

2. In (Matthew 1:23) He is called EMANUEL,

     which means GOD WITH US.

3. Often, Jesus refered to himself as  THE

    SON OF MAN (Matthew  25:31).

4. In (John 1:29) Jesus is called, "THE LAMB

    OF GOD."

5. In (Luke 2:11) Jesus is called (A SAVIOUR).

6. Peter refers to Jesus as the (DELIVERER)

    (1 Peter 2:9)  

7. Paul, the apostle speaks of Jesus as a

    (REDEEMER)  (Galatians 3:15)

8. In (1 Timothy 2:4-5), Paul calls Jesus the

    (ONLY MEDIATOR) between man and God the

    Father. 

9. In (Matthew 2:17), Jesus refers to Himself as

    (A PHYSICIAN). He can heal the sin sick soul.

10. In (Hebrews  4:12) the writer calls Jesus

     (CAPTAIN OF OUR SALVATION).

All of these titles show that man needs the

person of Jesus in his life in order to have a

personal relation with the Almighty God!

The process of entering into this relation is

the same as it was in the first century.

1. The sinner hears the good news

    about Jesus and what He came into this

    world to do.

 2. Upon hearing the good news, one

     believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

 3. This faith motivates the sinner to repent and

     to confess his belief in Jesus as God's Son.

 4. Then, the sinner has the privilege of being

      baptized (immersed) into Christ for the

      forgivness of his sins (Acts 2:38) and at

      this time he is added to the church that

     Jesus built. (Acts 2:47)

  5. At this point, the new creature in Christ

      begins his relation with God and grows

      spiritually day by day as he reads the

      scriptures and is led by the Holy Spirit

      to live a life that glorifies God.

WHAT A GREAT OFFER GOD STILL MAKES

TO ALL MEN EVERYWHERE WHO WILL ONLY

ACCEPT IT!!!!!!
