When Jesus asked His disciples, who the people said He was, His disciples answered John the Baptist, but some said Elias, and others said one of the old prophets, who was risen. Then Jesus asked them, who they said He was. Peter answered and said, the Christ of God. What does the Bible say about the Christ of God? What does the Christ of God mean?
The two persons, who changed the spiritual state of mankind
它发生了, as He was alone praying, His disciples were with Him: and He asked them, 说, Whom say the people that I am? They answering said, 施洗约翰; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again. 他对他们说, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, 上帝的基督 (the Anointed of God (卢克 9:18-20))
In the history of mankind, there have been two persons, who have changed the (精神) state of mankind on earth; the son of God 亚当, and the Son of God Jesus the Christ.
Adam was perfectly created in the image of God and was appointed on earth to rule as son of God. The position of Adam and his power; his rulership was taken from him when he disobeyed God.
Because of his disobedience to God, man lost his position as a son of God and his rulership on earth to the devil and the devil became his father.
Man lost his position because of disobedience to God
Man had fallen from his position and became under the authority of the devil and his kingdom. 从那一刻起, death reigned in mankind and produced the fruit of death, 这是罪孽. 每个人, who would be born on earth would be born under the authority of death and would carry and pay the price of sin, 这就是死亡.
But God had already a plan to redeem mankind from the power and dominion of the devil and restore the position of mankind on earth and his relationship with God.
Out of love for mankind, God sent His Son Jesus the Christ; 道给大地, to redeem mankind from the power and dominion of the devil and to restore the position and the relationship of mankind with God (另请阅读: 耶稣恢复了堕落人类的地位).
Jesus the Christ of God
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (1 哥林多前书 15:22)
Through the disobedience of the son Adam, the seed of man was affected by death, but through the obedience of the Son Jesus the Christ the seed of man was restored in Him by His life.
耶稣, the living Word showed by His walk and His obedience to God and His will, how a son of God should walk on earth.
通过耶稣’ obedience to God and 他的意志, Jesus the Christ accomplished His mission on earth.
