Bibliology: 9 BIBLE EVIDENCES
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker
If
the Biblical record is true concerning the person and character of Jesus Christ,
then we must acknowledge the exalted claims which He made for Himself. He
claimed to have existed before Abraham (John8:56-58); to have come down from heaven (John6:33, 38); to have been with the Father before
the creation of the world (John 17:5);
to be the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew16:16); to be the One about whom all of the Old Testament
prophets spoke (Luke 24:27, 44);
to have power to forgive sins (Matthew 9:3-6);
to have all authority in heaven and earth (Matthew
28:18); to be the resurrection and the life (John 11:25); to be the way, the truth, and the
life (John 14:6); to be the final judge of mankind (Matthew 25:31, 32); to be equal with God (John 5:18; 10:30). These claims are either true or
false. If false, we must conclude that Jesus Christ was either a deluded
fanatic or a determined deceiver. It seems impossible to believe that either
type of character could have had such a redeeming influence upon humanity for
the past nineteen centuries as the knowledge of Christ has produced. If His
claims are true, then it is a foregone conclusion that we are dealing with a
supernatural character and that the book which records this Person also takes
on the same supernatural character, for it is His revelator.
