Matthew 16:16 - And Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ! The Son of the living God."
And all Christians must ask whether we agree. You might think it odd that we wouldn't all automatically agree on this point. Yet, I know people who struggle with this, just as with other aspects of our faith. Following God isn't easy. Acknowledging Jesus as the Christ isn't easy. Sometimes, like faith itself, it is a struggle with rather than an agreeing to. It is easy to go back and forth. The centurion's anguished cry speaks for us all, "I believe; help my unbelief."
We cannot come to faith without God's help. However, we can be assured we have that help - God has called us and God will lead us and help us.
