True God and True Man

Introducing the section on the central figure in salvation, Pastor Martin begins a sub-series on the mystery of Christ's person by laying out why the doctrine is of supreme importance. He argues from Scripture that individual salvation depends on a right confession of who Christ is (John 20:31; John 8:24), the church is built upon a right confession (Matthew 16:13-18), the gospel cannot be maintained or proclaimed without a right view of Him (Romans 1:1-4), and this doctrine is the critical test of any professed work of the Spirit (1 John 4:1-3). He closes by pressing the personal question: Who is Jesus Christ to you?
