John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
I Tim. 2:3-5
3 "This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior,
4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ
Jesus,
6 who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony born at the proper time.
Matt. 16:26-27
26 "For what will a man be profited, if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
27 For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels; and
will THEN RECOMPENSE EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS."
Hebrews 1:1-4
1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in
many ways,
2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir to all things,
through whom also He made the world.
3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and
upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent
name than they.
Romans 8:1-2
1 "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and
of death."
Hebrews 2:3
how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? ....
Philippians 2:5-11
5 Have this attitude in yourselves that was in Christ Jesus,
6 who, although He existed in the form of God, he did not regard equality with
God a thing to be grasped,
7 but He emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made
in the likeness of men.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name
which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in
heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
Jesus was in heaven with God before He came to be a man on earth. He came here to
do God the Father's will as His Son and by doing this reconcile mankind to God, all
those who believe in Jesus as their Savior.
Acts 4:10-12
10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of
Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead- by
this name this man stands here before you in good health.
11 He (Jesus) is the STONE WHICH WAS REJECTED by you, THE BUILDERS,
but WHICH BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone.
12 And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that
has been given among men, by which we must be saved.
The Deity of Jesus Christ
John 1:1-5;
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came into being by Him; and apart from Him nothing came into being that
has come into being.
4 In Him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.
11 He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.
12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name,
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but
of God.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory
as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth was realized through Jesus
Christ.
18 No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom
of the Father, He has explained Him.
From these scriptures we see Jesus revealed as God Himself who came to us in the
form of a man. God the Father in heaven, God the Son who came to us and now sits at
the right hand of the Father waiting the time to return again, and the Holy Spirit from
God that dwells in all those who believe and have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior. Jesus is the only name appointed by which men must be saved.
In John 10:30 Jesus said this.
"I and the Father are one." |
