In these last days, we don't have to look very far to find people who call themselves Christian denying that Jesus Christ is the same God and Father, in His Spirit form, who created the heavens and the earth (John 1:1, 10, 14).
Even though Isaiah and Jesus Himself have declared that Jesus is the Father, there are still those who will not understand the oneness of God and the Deity of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the one LORD mentioned in the "Shema". Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD.
There will be some who have eyes to see but cannot see, they have ears to hear but cannot hear because of unbelief. Their Spiritual understanding is lacking and their human logic has deceived them. (Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9, Deut. 6:4, Luke 2:11, Revelation 1:8)
Jude 1:1-5
Certain men denying the only Lord God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. God is warning us that there are men who would seem to be followers of Christ, and have crept into our churches, but they are ungodly and they will be condemned. Today these false teachers are propagating the false notion of a three person God.
They have turned the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God and his manifestation as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (Isaiah 43:10-11). In other words, they deny that Jesus Christ is the one and only Almighty God (Revelation 1:8).
Verse 5. Let’s get an understanding of what God is saying here. Based on our knowledge of the children of Israel and their exodus from Egypt, we know that God brought them out of the land of Egypt and yet he destroyed those that didn’t believe.
Does that mean that once it has been explained to us who Jesus is, and we still won’t believe, we will suffer the same fate as the children of Israel? Read the scripture again and come to your own conclusion.
The message is this. These ungodly men deny that the Lord Jesus Christ is the one and only God. To give God the glory and recognition for this great salvation, we should repent, get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). If we take Mark 16:16 in combination with Acts 2:38, this scripture would be translated; he that believeth and is baptized, in Jesus name for remission of sins, shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
I pray that God have a blessing for the ones who read these words. Search the scriptures, obey them, and tell others about the mystery and knowledge of Jesus Christ. There will be some new believers who will believe right away and be saved and there will be others who have been trying to be saved for years through their good works but they won’t believe because they are with a certain Church and they will be embarrassed to leave their traditions and philosophies of men. These same people will fall into unbelief and reprobation because they wouldn’t follow nor obey God’s Word. They will try to lead others astray, by the spirit of the antichrist, not knowing the power of God and the knowledge and mystery of Christ. And not understanding that Jesus is the only wise God and our Saviour.
Jude 1:25
The only wise God and our Saviour. The Lord has told us on numerous occasions that his name is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This scripture verifies and summarizes the whole concept of this book. Jesus Christ is the only wise God and our Saviour who has the glory, majesty, dominion and power both now and forever.
Let’s take a look at the meaning of God’s name, “Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” Our Lord (God is one Lord – Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 40:3), and he is our Saviour (Isaiah 43:11, Luke 2:11), and his name is Jesus Christ (The Messiah – Isaiah 40:3, Matthew 3:3, and Rock of our Salvation-II Samuel 22:32, 47, I Corinthians 10:4, Acts 2:38). Now you can understand how Jesus can be the one Lord God Almighty just like he said in Revelation 1:8.
