Both or None

He who does not honor the Son, does not honor the Father who sent Him.” John 5:23
There are billions of people in the world today who say that they believe in God. Jesus says that number is much smaller than many claim. What is the evidence that we know God? We must acknowledge Jesus Christ as His Son. There are over one billion Muslims in this world and they all profess to know God. But they don’t. Why? Because they say that Jesus Christ is a prophet and proclaim firmly that “Allah is not begotten and Allah does not beget.” Allah has no son. Jesus said that to know God we must first give honor to Jesus as His Son. Billions more people are Hindus and Buddhists. They all claim to know God or be searching for Him. But they reject Jesus as God’s Son and therefore have turned away from truly searching for God or truth.
Jesus didn’t leave any doubt about His relationship to the Father. He is the only begotten Son of God. He is the eternal Word, who with the Father made all things. He is the one who said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.” Do not be fooled by imitations. Unless people confess that Jesus Christ is the One True and Only Son of God, they don’t know God. What they are offering is a foundation of sand in this life and a worthless certificate to enter the next. Accept the only One who died for our sins and rose again for our justification and about whom the Father said, “This is My beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased.”

Dear Father, help me daily to remember that there can be no substitute for Jesus and no other way to You than Him. Amen.
