There is quite a lot of discussion and disagreement regarding who Jesus is, mainly centering around whether He is \u201cGod.\u201d Let’s let the Bible tell us who He is.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is God–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.<\/i><\/span> Psalm 50:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the <\/i><\/span>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, make his paths straight.<\/i><\/span> Matthew 3:3 (quoting Isaiah 40:3 where “LORD” = Jehovah)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the <\/i><\/span>LORD<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, make straight in the desert a highway for our <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>.<\/i><\/span> Isaiah 40:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>.<\/i><\/span> John 1:1<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.<\/i><\/span> John <\/span>12:41 (referring to Isaiah 6:1 where “the Lord” = Adonai)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the <\/i><\/span>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. <\/i><\/span> Isaiah 6:1<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>.<\/i><\/span> John <\/span>20:28<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, <\/i>God<\/b><\/u><\/i> blessed for ever. Amen. <\/i> Romans 9:5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O <\/i>God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. <\/i>Hebrews 1:8 (quoting Psalm 45:6 where \u201cGod\u201d = Elohiym)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b><\/i>Thy throne, O <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.<\/i><\/span> Psalm 45:6, 7<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And, Thou, <\/i>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i>, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:<\/i> Hebrews 1:10 (quoting Psalm 102:24, 25 where “Lord” = El)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I said, O my <\/i><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are throughout all generations. <\/i><\/span>Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou art the same, and thy years shall have no end.<\/i><\/span> Psalm 102:24-27<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the Son of God–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John 1:34, 49; 3:16-18; 6:69; 20:31<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And declared to be <\/i>the Son of God<\/u><\/i><\/b> with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: <\/i> Romans 1:4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is part of God–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And God said, Let <\/i><\/span>us<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> make man in <\/i><\/span>our<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> image, after <\/i><\/span>our<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. <\/i><\/span> Genesis 1:26<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as <\/i><\/span>gods<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, knowing good and evil. <\/i><\/span> Genesis 3:5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as <\/i><\/span>one of us<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: <\/i><\/span> Genesis 3:22<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is One with the Father–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I and my Father are <\/i><\/span>one<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> John 10:30<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He resembles God–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who is the <\/i><\/span>image of the invisible God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, the firstborn of every creature:<\/i><\/span> Colossians 1:15<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is in the Father and the Father is in Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. <\/i><\/span>But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that <\/i><\/span>the Father is in me, and I in him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> John 10:37, 38<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Believest thou not that <\/i><\/span>I am in the Father, and the Father in me<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that <\/i><\/span>I am in the Father, and the Father in me<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>: or else believe me for the very works’ sake. <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>14:10, 11<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

To wit, that <\/i><\/span>God was in Christ<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. <\/i><\/span> 2 Corinthians 5:19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was called “the mighty God,” “the everlasting Father”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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, Counsellor, <\/i><\/span>The mighty God, The everlasting Father<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, The Prince of Peace. <\/i><\/span> Isaiah 9:6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was called “God with us”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, <\/i><\/span><\/span>God with us<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span>. <\/i><\/span><\/span>Matthew 1:23<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He would be called “THE LORD (Jehovah) OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> Jeremiah 23:5, 6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was sent by the Father to save the world–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> John 3:16, 17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John the Baptist prepared for Him “the way of the LORD (Jehovah) . . . a highway for our God”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye <\/i>the way of the LORD<\/b><\/u><\/i>, make straight in the desert <\/i>a highway for our God<\/b><\/u><\/i>. <\/i> Isaiah 40:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He came in the Father’s name–<\/b> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am come <\/i>in my Father’s name<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. <\/i> John 5:43<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Father is greater than He–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for <\/i>my Father is greater than I<\/b><\/u><\/i>. <\/i> John 14:28<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He calls the Father “my God”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, <\/i>My God, my God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, why hast thou forsaken me? <\/i> Matthew 27:46<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, <\/i>My God, my God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, why hast thou forsaken me?<\/i> Mark 15:34<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto <\/i>my Father<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and your Father; and to <\/i>my God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and your God. <\/i> John 20:17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thomas called Him (Jesus) “my God”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

God has exalted Him to a high position, given Him a great name, and declared that all should bow to Him and confess Him as Lord–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Wherefore God also hath <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>highly exalted him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, and given him <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>a name which is above every name<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>That at the name of Jesus <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>every knee should bow<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> Philippians 2:9-11<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the “outshining of His glory, the copy of His essence”–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who being the <\/i><\/span><\/span>brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span>, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; <\/i><\/span><\/span> Hebrews 1:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All the fullness of divinity was in Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For it pleased the Father that in him should <\/i>all fulness<\/b><\/u><\/i> dwell; <\/i> Colossians 1:19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For in him dwelleth <\/i>all the fulness of the Godhead<\/b><\/u><\/i> bodily. <\/i> Colossians 2:9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was God manifest in the flesh–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: <\/i>God was manifest in the flesh<\/b><\/u><\/i>, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. <\/i> 1 Timothy 3:16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We can see the Father in Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>seen the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> John 14:8, 9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Philippians 2:7, 8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hebrews 2:14, 17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He displayed God’s glory–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld <\/i><\/span>his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>,) full of grace and truth. <\/i><\/span> John 1:14<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who being <\/i><\/span>the brightness of his glory<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;<\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He demonstrated God’s character–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, <\/i><\/span>he hath declared him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span>John 1:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Father gave Him everything–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Father loveth the Son, and hath <\/i>given all things into his hand<\/b><\/u><\/i>.<\/i> John 3:35<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All things that the Father hath are mine<\/b><\/u><\/i>: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. <\/i> John 16:15<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And all mine are thine, and <\/i>thine are mine<\/b><\/u><\/i>; and I am glorified in them. <\/i> John 17:10<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He has been given authority to judge–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the Father judgeth no man, but <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>hath committed all judgment unto the Son<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>: . . . <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>And <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>hath given him authority to execute judgment<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> also, because he is the Son of man. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> John 5:22, 27<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the Creator–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All things were made by him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; and without him was not any thing made that was made. <\/i><\/span> John 1:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was in the world, and <\/i><\/span>the world was made by him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, and the world knew him not. <\/i><\/span> John 1:<\/span>10<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/i><\/span>by him were all things created<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: <\/i><\/span>all things were created by him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, and for him: <\/i><\/span> Colossians 1:16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, <\/i><\/span>by whom also he made the worlds<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is a Prince and Saviour–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be <\/i>a Prince and a Saviour<\/b><\/u><\/i>, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. <\/i> Acts 5:30, 31<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is Lord–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ye call me Master and <\/i><\/span>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>: and ye say well; for so I am. <\/i><\/span> John 13:13<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My <\/i><\/span>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> and my God. <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>20:28<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is eternal, from eternity past to eternity future–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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, Counsellor, The mighty God, The <\/i><\/span>everlasting<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> Father, The Prince of Peace. <\/i><\/span> Isaiah 9:6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been <\/i><\/span>from of old, from everlasting<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Micah 5:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And, Thou, Lord, <\/i><\/span>in the beginning<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands: <\/i><\/span>They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment; and as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and <\/i><\/span>thy years shall not fail<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:10-12<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus Christ the same <\/i><\/span>yesterday, and to day, and for ever<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 13:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am Alpha and Omega, the <\/i><\/span>beginning and the ending<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, saith the Lord, <\/i><\/span>which is, and which was, and which is to come<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, the Almighty. <\/i><\/span> Revelation 1:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am <\/i><\/span>alive for evermore<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.<\/i><\/span> Revelation 1:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is omnipotent: He has all power (authority)–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, <\/i><\/span>All power<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> is given unto me in heaven and in earth.<\/i><\/span> Matthew 28:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As thou hast given him <\/i><\/span>power over all<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.<\/i><\/span> John 17:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am Alpha an<\/i><\/span>d Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the <\/i><\/span>Almighty<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Revelation 1:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is omniscient–<\/b> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; i<\/i><\/span>n whom are hid <\/i><\/span>all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Colossians 2:2, 3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is omnipresent–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, <\/i><\/span>there am I<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> in the midst of them. <\/i><\/span> Matthew 18:20<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, <\/i><\/span>I am with you<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.<\/i><\/span> Matthew 28:20<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I will not leave you comfortless: <\/i><\/span>I will come to you<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> John 14:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He has life in Himself–<\/b><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In him was life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; and the life was the light of men. <\/i><\/span>John 1:4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have <\/i><\/span>life in himself<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>5:26<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. <\/i><\/span>I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. This commandment have I received of my Father. <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>10:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and <\/i><\/span>the life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>11:25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and <\/i><\/span>the life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>14:6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the singular channel of existence–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/i><\/span>in him we live, and move, and have our being<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.<\/i><\/span> Acts 17:28<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he is before all things, and <\/i><\/span>by him all things consist<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Colossians 1:17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

His words are life–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: <\/i><\/span>the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>.<\/i><\/span> John 6:63<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He can give physical life–<\/b> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so <\/i><\/span>the Son quickeneth<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> whom he will. . . . Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and <\/i><\/span>they that hear shall live<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. . . . <\/i><\/span>Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the <\/i><\/span>resurrection of life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. <\/i><\/span>John 5:21,<\/span> 25, 28, 29; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and <\/i><\/span>I will raise him up<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> at the last day. <\/i><\/span> John <\/span>6:44<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and <\/i><\/span>the dead in Christ shall rise<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> first:<\/i><\/span> 1 Thessalonians 4:16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He can give eternal life–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that <\/i><\/span>he should give eternal life<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> to as many as thou hast given him. <\/i><\/span> John 17:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is holy–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, <\/i><\/span>the Holy One of God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Mark 1:24<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also <\/i><\/span>that holy thing<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. <\/i><\/span> Luke 1:35<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He should be honored the same as the Father–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That <\/i><\/span>all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. <\/i><\/span> John 5:23<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is far above the angels, having a surpassing name–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Being made <\/i><\/span>so much better than the angels<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, as he hath by inheritance obtained <\/i><\/span>a more excellent name<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> than they. <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:4<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

All the angels worship Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let <\/i><\/span>all the angels of God worship him<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is to receive glory for ever and ever–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: <\/i><\/span>to whom be glory for ever and ever<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. Amen. <\/i><\/span> 2 Timothy 4:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; <\/i><\/span>to whom be glory for ever and ever<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. Amen. <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 13:21<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. <\/i><\/span>To him be glory both now and for ever<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. Amen.<\/i><\/span> 2 Peter 3:18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Saying with a loud voice, <\/i><\/span>Worthy is the Lamb<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. <\/i><\/span> Revelation 5:12<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He receives the same honor as the One who sits on the throne–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, <\/i><\/span>and unto the Lamb<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> for ever and ever. <\/i><\/span>Revelation 5:13<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The 4 beasts and 24 elders worshiped Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders <\/i><\/span>fell down before the Lamb<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. <\/i><\/span> Revelation 5:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He has a sceptre and a kingdom–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: <\/i><\/span>a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>.<\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the heir of all things–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed <\/i><\/span>heir of all things<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, by whom also he made the worlds; <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He holds the position and has the authority and privileges of the Firstborn–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who is the image of the invisible God, the <\/i><\/span>firstborn of every creature<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>:<\/i><\/span> Colossians 1:15<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He upholds everything by His power–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and <\/i><\/span>upholding all things by the word of his power<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; <\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He sits at the right side of the Father, the Majesty–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, <\/i><\/span>sat down on the right hand of the Majesty<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> on high; <\/i><\/span>Hebrews 1:3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But to which of the angels said he at any time, <\/i><\/span>Sit on my right hand<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?<\/i><\/span> Hebrews 1:<\/span>13<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is far above all powers and authorities in this world and in the future world–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Far above all<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span> principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: <\/i><\/span>And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, <\/i><\/span> Ephesians 1:21, 22<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is King of kings and Lord of lords–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is <\/i><\/span>Lord of lords, and King of kings<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. <\/i><\/span> Revelation 17:14<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, <\/i><\/span>KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span>. <\/i><\/span> Revelation <\/span>19:16<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was not independent of the Father–<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, <\/i>the Son can do nothing of himself<\/b><\/u><\/i>, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. <\/i> John 5:19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I can of mine own self do nothing<\/b><\/u><\/i>: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. <\/i> John 5:30<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As the living Father hath sent me, and <\/i>I live by the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i>: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.<\/i> John 6:57<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that <\/i>I do nothing of myself<\/b><\/u><\/i>; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. <\/i> John 8:28<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For <\/i>I have not spoken of myself<\/b><\/u><\/i>; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even <\/i>as the Father said unto me, so I speak<\/b><\/u><\/i>.<\/i> John 12:49, 50<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you <\/i>I speak not of myself<\/b><\/u><\/i>: but the Father that dwelleth in me, <\/i>he doeth the works<\/b><\/u><\/i>. <\/i> John 14:10<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He was totally good; only God is good–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Psalm 92:15<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mark 10:17, 18<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 Peter 2:22<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

1 John 3:5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He had power (authority) to forgive sins–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But that ye may know that <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> Mark 2:10-12<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But that ye may know that <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> Luke 5:24, 25<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

People worshiped Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew 2:11; 8:2; 9:18; 14:33; 15:25; 28:9, 17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

John 9:38<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Revelation 1:17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We are told to only worship God–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt <\/i>worship the Lord thy God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and him only shalt thou serve. <\/i> Matthew 4:10<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt <\/i>worship the Lord thy God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and him only shalt thou serve. <\/i> Luke 4:8<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: <\/i>worship God<\/b><\/u><\/i>: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. <\/i> Revelation 19:10; <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>worship God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> Revelation <\/span><\/span><\/span>22:8, 9<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Glory to the Son is glory to the Father–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and <\/i>God is glorified in him<\/b><\/u><\/i>. <\/i> John 13:31<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As He is in the Father, He is in us and we in Him–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

At that day ye shall know that <\/i>I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you<\/b><\/u><\/i>. <\/i> John 14:20<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The THREE (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are together–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: <\/i> Matthew 28:19<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>Spirit<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>And there are differences of administrations, but the same <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>Lord<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>God<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> which worketh all in all. <\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span> 1 Corinthians 12:4-6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The grace of the <\/i>Lord Jesus Christ<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and the love of <\/i>God<\/b><\/u><\/i>, and the communion of the <\/i>Holy Ghost<\/b><\/u><\/i>, be with you all. Amen. <\/i> 2 Corinthians 13:14<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Elect according to the foreknowledge of <\/i>God the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i>, through sanctification of the <\/i>Spirit<\/b><\/u><\/i>, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of <\/i>Jesus Christ<\/b><\/u><\/i>: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. <\/i> 1 Peter 1:2<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is one God (the Father), and one Lord (Jesus)–<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But to us there is but <\/i>one God, the Father<\/b><\/u><\/i>, of whom are all things, and we in him; and <\/i>one Lord Jesus Christ<\/b><\/u><\/i>, by whom are all things, and we by him. <\/i> 1 Corinthians 8:6<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

There is quite a lot of discussion and disagreement regarding who Jesus is, mainly centering around whether He is \u201cGod.\u201d Let’s let the Bible tell us who He is.
