Is JESUS GOD ? Is HE equal with GOD the FATHER ? That is, does HE have all the attributes that make GOD, GOD ?
1. The testimony of the BIBLE.
"In the beginning was the WORD and the WORD was with GOD and the WORD was GOD . . . And the WORD was made flesh and dwelt among us . . ." John 1:1, 14a.
"WHO (CHRIST) being in the form of GOD thought it not robbery to be equal with GOD" Philippians 2:6.
2. The testimony of the UNBELIEVING PHARISEES.
"The Jews answered HIM, saying, For a good work we stone THEE not; but for blasphemy; and because that THOU, being a man, makest THYSELF GOD" John 10:33.
(There was no doubt in their minds as to WHO JESUS claimed to be !)
3. The testimony of the PROPHETS.
"For unto us a CHILD is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government shall be upon HIS shoulder: and HIS name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, The MIGHTY GOD, The EVERLASTING FATHER, The PRINCE of PEACE" Isaiah 9:6.
4. The testimony of the APOSTLES.
Paul - "For by HIM were all things created, that are in Heaven, and that are in Earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: ALL things were created by HIM and for HIM: And HE is before all things and by HIM all things consist" Colossians 1:16-17.
". . . GOD was manifest in the flesh . . ." 1st.Timothy 3:16b
John - says JESUS was ". . . that eternal life, which was with the FATHER and was manifested unto us" 1st.John 1:2b
". . . the true GOD and eternal life" 1st.John 5:20b
5. The testimony of the ANGELS.
"They shall call HIS name EMMANUEL, which being interpreted is GOD with us" Matthew 1:23b
6. The testimony of CHRIST HIMSELF.
JESUS calls HIMSELF the great "I AM", John 8:58. This is the Hebrew word of Exodus 3:14 for GOD HIMSELF.
JESUS said, "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish . . ." John 10:28a (GOD alone can give life.)
JESUS said, ". . . He that hath seen ME hath seen the FATHER . . ." John 14:9
7. The testimony of GOD THE FATHER.
Speaking of CHRIST: "But unto the SON HE saith, THY throne, O GOD, is forever and ever . . ." Hebrews 1:8a
JESUS CHRIST is declared in the Bible to be GOD. As GOD manifest in the flesh HE died for your sins on the cross.
". . . I declare unto you the Gospel . . . by which also ye are saved, . . For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that CHRIST died for our sins according to the Scriptures; and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures:" 1st.Corinthians 15:1a,2a,3-4. Have you believed on HIM as your personal LORD and SAVIOR ? Will you right now repent (turn to GOD from your sin) ?
Perhaps you will say that you are not such a bad sinner. But the Bible says in Romans 3:23: "For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD." Also, in James 2:10 we read: "For whosoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."
Therefore will you not turn to GOD from your sins today and accept JESUS, GOD's only SON, as your personal LORD and SAVIOR ?
"But as many as received HIM (CHRIST), to them gave HE power to become the sons of GOD, even to them that believe on HIS name" John 1:12 and receive the promise of eternal life, "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the SON of GOD; that ye may KNOW that ye HAVE eternal life, and that ye may BELIEVE on the name of the SON of GOD (JESUS)." 1st.John 5:13
If you have made a decision to receive CHRIST as your personal LORD and SAVIOR, please let me know so that I along with the angels in Heaven can REJOICE over one sinner that repents.
Your servant in CHRIST,
Julie
