MY GOD - MY SAVIOUR
Our spiritual life is not a religion it is our personal relationship with our God
Once Jesus asked this question to his disciples
Matthew 16:13-16 - When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
However, God told me that in order to maintain a close relationship with Him, His people must know the following truths:
“Who do you say I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Today in many congregations, many people have no personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Rather, they know God in many other ways:
Jesus is asking the same question to us:
“Who do you say I am?”
