It is by revelation only

Meditate about these things.

It is impossible to be a true Christian without going through the process which others have gone through, especially in the bible. The revelation here is about who Jesus Christ really is. Some know Him as the Son of God, some as Father, God, some as the second person to God as it is with those who believe in what is called trinity, and others see him as the Holy Spirit. The apostles faced this dilemma, now it is your time. In Matt. 16:15, Jesus Christ asked a similar question, “But who say ye that I am?” The same question is posed to you today. In verse 14 some said, “He was John the Baptist, some Elias, and others Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” But Peter said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then in verse 17, Jesus answered and said, “Blessed art thou Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.” This revelation is the most important cornerstone of the Christian faith

First consider yourself blessed, if this revelation has come to you. This revelation can only come to you, not through flesh and blood but from the Father Who is in heaven. This is made clearer by these scriptures; first, Luke 10:22 reads, “All things are delivered to me of my Father; and no man knoweth who the Son is but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son and he to whom the Son will reveal him.” This is an assuring scripture to those seeking the truth. The Son has to give you a revelation of who the Father is, otherwise you will never know. Then you wonder if the Son reveals the Father to you, who really is the Son? Many people think they know the Son, but the Son said, nobody knows the Son but the Father. So, you may not really know who the Son is as you always thought–if you do not know the revelation of who the Father is.

Isaiah 9:6 reads, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” This is one of the best revelations about who Jesus is. People still look at Jesus Christ as the baby in a manger. It is more than that, there is real revelation in Jesus Christ and the Father will make it known to you; if the Son has revealed the Father to you.This knowledge comes by revelation.

The scripture reads in John 6:44, “no man can come to the Son except the Father which hath sent me draw him and I will raise him up at the last day.” This clearly makes the issue one of concern; because the Father needs to draw you to the Son, else you cannot come to the Son and you will never get to know the Father. John 17:2-3 reads, “As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is eternal life, that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.” The Father has given the Son those He has allowed Him to give eternal life. There are those whom the Father has given to the Son and only they can receive eternal life. And this eternal life is only by knowing the only true God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
