The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. This is He of whom I said, ‘After me cometh a Man which is preferred before me:’ for He was before me.  And I knew Him not: but that He should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.” And John bare record, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him.  And I knew Him not: but He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, ‘Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.  And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
John 1:29-34

There seems to be a number of people who do not believe that Jesus is the Son of God and since He is the Son of God, that He is also God the Son.  I know that sounds odd maybe, but it is the truth.

This is one of those things that will be revealed to you by the Holy Spirit, and no other way.  Does it make a difference if you do not believe that?  It seems to me that the Bible bears that out quite clearly even with Jesus saying to Peter,  “Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven”  (Matthew 16:17).  This was after Jesus had questioned His disciples concerning who people thought He is.  Peter said, “You are the Christ (Messiah), the Son of the Living  God” (Matthew 16:16).  Most Jewish religious leaders believed the Messiah was coming, but did not recognize Him when He came.  They also believed the Messiah to be Deity.  This Man Jesus is the Incarnation of God.

That is a hill that I stand on, and die for as well.  John the Baptist witnessed the Holy Spirit coming on Jesus as He ascended out of the baptismal waters, in the form of a dove, and heard the Father said from heaven, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”  So I think it best to believe the word of God over the deniers of the truth of who Jesus really is.

Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God; and He is God the Son.  This was Peter’s confession, It is also my confession and conviction.  What is your confession concerning the Deity of Jesus the Christ of God?
