What Do You Think of Jesus Christ?

Matthew 22:42 — “What do you think about the Christ?”

This question is not abstract—it is eternally significant. Your answer will determine your destiny. There is no room for error here. He was no mere man walking around the Sea of Galilee 2000 years ago. He was and is the life and light of men. If we do not trust in the true, living Christ as revealed in the Scriptures, we are following a false Christ—one of the many counterfeits that Jesus himself warned about (Matthew 24:24).

How Will You Respond?

Trust in the Lord Jesus. To trust in Jesus Christ is to turn from sin and entrust yourself wholly to Him. It means repenting of your rebellion, relying on His finished work alone for your salvation, and loving Him with a sincere heart. Saving faith is not mere agreement—it is a living trust in the crucified and risen Savior, a wholehearted giving of yourself to Him in love.

“Repent and believe in the gospel.” (Mark 1:15)
“Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved...” (Acts 16:31)
“We love because he first loved us.” (1 John 4:19)

We dare not reject such mercy and love from such a Savior. Come, and welcome to Jesus Christ!
