How can we know Christ is the Son of God?

How can we know Christ is the Son of God?

John 7:10-17

                There are different reactions of the people today and when Christ walked the earth. In the Bible it says that many people knew he was a good man and others said he was a liar, a deceiver, about being the Son of God.

                People are still having these same thoughts. There are those of us who believe and love him and then there are people who think he was a mere man, a good one, but not the Son of God. Some probably don’t believe in his existence at all.

                IN the passage of the bible the Jews as Jesus how can he know their letters, when he’s never learned them? He shouldn’t know them.

                Jesus replies, “My doctrine is not mine but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether be of God or whether I speak of myself.”

D&C 93:17 And he received all power, both in heaven and on earth and the glory of the Father was with him, for he dwelt in him.

                We know from the scriptures that while Christ was on earth a lot of people denied he was the son of God.  And even now people deny Christ as what he is. They ask, “How do we know that he told the truth? How do we know that your profession of being the Son of God is true?”

                His reply is a simple one.” If any man do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God or whether I speak of myself.” John 7:17

                “That test is most sound. It is most philosophical. It is the most simple test to give knowledge to an individual of which the human mind can conceive. Doing a thing, introducing it into your very being, will convince you whether it is good or whether it is bad. You may not be able to convince me of that which you know, but you know it because you have lived it. That is the test that the Savior gave to those men when they asked him how they should know whether the doctrine was of God or whether it was of man.” (David O. McKay)

                I wasn’t always the most upstanding Mormon out there.  When I was about 22 I started to hang around friends who liked to drink and after awhile I picked up on the habit. Looking back I can see how lost I was. I didn’t know what I wanted, or where I stood with Christ. The change happened slowly, I decided I was never going to drink again, and if you know me, when I make up my mind about something then that’s it. So I stopped that day and haven’t had a drink since. That’s been probably about four years ago. I can honestly say it was a dark two years of my life. After that I went back to the church I’d been raised in the road led me to getting married in the temple and attending BYUI.

                I’ve been blessed so much since making the choice to follow Christ again, and I see the happiness in myself more than ever. I’m enjoying school, and learning more deeply about Jesus Christ and God. My patriarchal blessing says that as I live the Gospel I will start to see Jesus and God’s daily watchfulness over me. And I do. More and more every day I see it! The blessing of the temple alone is one of the most amazing things next to the atonement and that fact that I NEVER wanted to go to college and I actually like it now is because I’ve been led there. My future is bright as it’s ever been. My husband it the best man I could ever ask for and I thank God every day for him.

                If you’re lost and don’t know what you want in life, give Christ a chance. I promise you won’t regret it.
