“Who is the liar, if not the one who denies that Jesus is the Messiah? This one is the antichrist: the one who denies the Father and the Son.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭2:22‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

There are three types of attitude toward Jesus: He is not my savior, I never heard of Him, and He is my savior.

The Devil and his angels fall into the first category. They have outright rejected Jesus as being the messiah and have people who are following this Antichrist agenda. This group when asked who is Jesus. Will never respond that He is the Christ.

“Therefore I am informing you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭12:3‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

There are people who have never heard of Jesus. Whether here or in a faraway country. They have no idea what Jesus really did for them on the cross. These people will eventually trust Jesus as their Lord and savior. 

“But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the gospel of good things!”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:14-15‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

And last, of all, there are those who declare that Jesus is Lord. These are the ones who are sent to preach the gospel to the first two groups. We have the Holy Spirit of God with us and we have been sent to act like Jesus and to speak like Jesus and to love the world like Jesus loves us.

“This is My command: Love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, that someone would lay down his life for his friends.”

“I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
‭‭John‬ ‭13:34-35‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
