Who Is Christ?

A concise Christ-centered overview of Jesus—who He is, why it matters, and how to meet Him through Scripture.

Who is Christ?

Christ is Jesus, the promised Son of God and the center of the Christian story. This section gives you a simple starting point for understanding who He is, why He matters, and how Scripture introduces Him.

  • Read the identity pages first so you can anchor the rest of the section.
  • Pray briefly before you read and ask for understanding.
  • Use the related pages to follow the thread from names to prophecy to teachings.

Why Jesus is central

Jesus is central because He restores your relationship with God, brings forgiveness for sin, and gives new life that begins now and continues beyond this life.

  • Relationship with God — Jesus reveals the Father and makes reconciliation possible.
  • Forgiveness — Jesus deals with sin so you can come to God with confidence.
  • New life — Jesus invites you into a transformed life shaped by trust, obedience, and hope.

How Scripture introduces Him

Scripture introduces Jesus in two connected ways. The Old Testament points forward to the promised Christ, and the Gospels reveal Jesus in His life, words, death, and resurrection.

The promise comes first, then the fulfillment. When you read both together, the story becomes clearer and the person of Jesus comes into focus.
