DCLM Sincere Milk 24 March 2022 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Jesus the son of God
TOPIC: JESUS: THE SON OF GOD
TEXT: 1 JOHN 5:10-13
10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Key Verse: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God” (1 John 5:13).
MESSAGE
Jesus Christ is the Son of God who came into the world to die for our sins. He is the second Person in the Godhead, and therefore, He is God.
No one in the whole of heaven and earth was qualified to die for the sins of the world. Jesus is the only sacrifice acceptable to God for the remission of sins. He is the only one who walked on the earth without committing sin. This made Him qualified to be our sin-bearer.
ODo you know Jesus? The Bible explains to us who Jesus is. He is the: A – Advocate for our sins, B – Beloved of the Father, C – Captain of our salvation, our D – Deliverer and Defender, E – Emmanuel – God with us, F – Faithful Witness, G – Good Shepherd, H – Healer, I – Intercessor, J – Judge, K – King of kings, L – Lord of lords, the M – Mediator, the N – Name above all names, O – Only Begotten Son of the Father, P – Prince of peace, Q – Quickening Spirit, R – Rock of Ages, S – Saviour, T – Teacher from heaven, U – Unsearchable riches of the kingdom, the V – Vine, the W – Word Personified, the X – Xpress image of the Father, Y – Yours faithfully to every need, Z – Zion, the joy of the whole earth.
What a wonderful Lord! Jesus is incomparable, inexhaustible, incomprehensible, invisible and immutable. Give your life to Jesus and worship Him with reverence and godly fear.
Prayer: Oh God, I believe in Jesus Christ Your Son as my Saviour and Lord. Reveal Him more to me.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
