When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Matthew 16:13-16
This simple yet very profound statement is the essence of the Christian faith. It is at the heart a conviction about a Person; and not a set of cleverly-worded philosophical formulations.
