Jesus and the Father Are One.

John 10:30

 

 And I do not ask concerning these only Father, but also concerning all of those who believe in Me through their word,  so that all of them may be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I also am in You, so that they also themselves may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.   And I have given them the glory You have given Me, so that they may be one as We are One.

John 17:20-22

 

 

  As God, Jesus has been “face to face” with the Father since before time began or the world was created, departing from the Father's presence and entering this world only to save us (John.6:62; 17:24):

 

The Lord Jesus Christ existed at the very beginning, and there was reciprocity  “face to face” co-divinity) between the Word and God the Father. And the Word was God.  This One both existed and enjoyed reciprocity was “face to face”) with God from the very beginning from before the beginning of creation).

John 1:1-2

 

And the Word became flesh and tented among us.  And we beheld His glory, a glory like that of a One and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 1:14

 

No one has ever seen God.  God the One and only Son, the One who has always been at the Father's side in heaven from eternity past, He has made Him known.

John 1:18

 

 For the Father, Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I have come forth from God.   I came forth from being with the Father and have come into the world.  I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father.

John 16:27-28

 

 Jesus said these things and having lifted up His eyes to heaven said, “Father, the hour has come.  Glorify your Son, so that your Son may glorify you,   just as You gave Him power over all flesh so that everything you have given Him might have eternal life.   And this is the eternal life, that they may know You, the Only True God, and Him whom you sent, Jesus Christ.  I have glorified You on the earth, having completed the work you have given Me to do.   And now glorify Me, Father, with your own glory, that glory which I had in your presence before the world existed.”

John 17:1-5

 

 What we have seen from the beginning, what we have heard and seen with our eyes, what we have observed and touched with our hands, this is about the Word of life, Jesus Christ.   And this life appeared, and we have seen it, and we bear witness to it, and we proclaim to you the eternal life which was in the presence of the Father and [then] appeared to us.

1st John 1:1-2

 

 

  As God, Jesus claims, shares, and demonstrates the divine attributes of God (Matt.28:18; Jn.1:48; 10:31-39):

 

Jesus said to them, “I Am the bread of life.  The one who comes to Me shall not hunger, and the one who believes in Me shall not thirst forever”.

John 6:35

 

And I Am giving them eternal life, and they will not perish forevermore, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

John 10:28

 

Jesus said to her, “I Am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me will live, even if he dies.  And everyone who lives and believes in Me will surely not die forevermore.”

John 11:25-26

 

I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  No one can come to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

 

 

 As God, Jesus is described as the “exact image of God” (Col.1:15;  2 Cor.4:4):

 

Jesus is the very shining forth of the Father's glory, the precise image of His essence, the One who sustains the universe by His mighty Word . . .

Hebrews 1:3

 

 

  As God, Jesus is eternal:

 

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, too small to be numbered among the clans of Judah, from you I will bring forth the One who is to rule over Israel.  His goings forth are from long ago, even from the days of eternity.

Micah 5:2

 

Jesus Christ, yesterday and today the same, and unto the end of the ages.

Hebrews 13:8

 

 

  As the very Word of God, the embodiment of the message and truth from the Father, Jesus is God (Deut.18:18; Jn.8:55; 14:10; 14:24:

 

Grass withers.  Flowers fade.  But the Word of our God will stand forever.

Isaiah 40:8

 

In the beginning, Christ Jesus was the Word Of The Creator God our heavenly Father. 

John 1:1

 

For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he might instruct Him?  But we possess the very mind of Christ the Holy Spirit illuminating the scriptures which are Christ's very thinking.

1st Corinthians 2:16 (12-13)

 

For God who said, “Let light shine forth from the darkness!”, is He who has shone forth His light into our hearts to illuminate our knowledge of God's glory in the Person of Jesus Christ.

2nd Corinthians 4:6

 

God, from antiquity, having communicated to our fathers in the prophets at many times and in many ways,  has in these last days communicated to us in His Son, the One whom He has appointed heir of all things, the One through whom He created the universe.   He is the very shining forth of the Father's glory, the precise image of His essence, the One who sustains the universe by His mighty Word . . .

Hebrews 1:1-3

 

 

  In accordance with the prophecies that God will judge the world, as God Jesus is the Judge since all judgment has been handed over to Him:

 

 I kept looking during my vision of that night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming up, and He approached the Ancient of Days (i.e., the Father) and they brought Him before Him.    And to Him was given dominion and honor and a kingdom, so that all nations and peoples and tongues should serve Him.  His dominion is an everlasting dominion which will not pass away, and His kingdom one which will not be destroyed.

Daniel 7:13-14

 

Then Jesus came over and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me."

Matthew 28:18

 

 For neither does the Father judge anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, (23) in order that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father.

John 5:22-23  ( Jn.5:27)

 

This examination of Rom.2:11-15 will take place] on the day when God will judge the secret things of men through Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Romans 2:16

 

May it never be [that God is considered unrighteous!  Otherwise, how will God judge the world?

Romans 3:6

 

But you, why do you judge your brother?  Or why do you also belittle your brother?  For we will all stand before God's tribunal as it is written:  “As I live”, says the Lord, “every knee will bow to Me, and every tongue will praise God” Is.45:23.  So then each of us will give an account to God concerning himself.

Romans 14:10-12

 

For we must all stand before Christ's tribunal, so that each of us may receive recompense for what he has accomplished through this body, whether it be good or worthless.

2nd Corinthians 5:10

 

 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every name that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11

 

 

In light of all of the above, whatever anyone may say, it is nonetheless dishonest to claim that Scripture at least is not altogether clear on this subject.  The Bible clearly proclaims the divinity of Jesus Christ regardless of any other false representations.  Indeed, it is really not too much to say that the Bible in effect breathes forth the divinity of Jesus Christ at almost every breath and that it is only by ignoring or diminishing its testimony that one can come to any different conclusion.  Thus Jesus Christ is the great divider between those who are being saved and those who are perishing (Matt.10:32; ) ( 1Jn.2:22).  Unless one confesses “Jesus as Lord God”, which necessarily includes acknowledging His divinity and humanity, His whole person and His work on the cross, there can be no salvation (Rom.10:9).  He is a true Man but He is not only a Man; He is also God, for “in Christ, all the fullness of Deity lives in bodily form” (Col.2:9).  Ultimately, no one who believes the Bible can doubt that Jesus is God, for this we even have from our Lord Himself:

 

 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?!”   And Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you before Abraham existed, I AM” ( Ex.3:14).

John 8:57-58  ( Lk.22:70;) (  Jn.8:24; 8:28)

 

 

 Jesus Christ is truly Human:  Perhaps the most profound wonder in universal history , of surpassing glory from the ages to the ages and rivaled only by His dying for our sins on the cross once He had become God in human form , is Jesus' taking on of true humanity in the first place, a necessary step in order to accomplish the Father's plan of redemption.  In our present finite and limited condition and until we “know as we are known” (1Cor.13:12), it is impossible even to begin to grasp the wonder and the glory, the graciousness, and the mercifulness, the cost and the sacrifice involved in our Lord Jesus becoming a true human being. 

 

You too should have this attitude which Christ Jesus had.  He already existed in the very form of God, equality with God was certainly] not something He thought He had to grasp for.  Yet in spite of this [co-equal divinity He already possessed], He deprived Himself of His status and took on the form of a slave, [and was] born in the likeness of men.  He humbled Himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even [His] death on the cross for us all. Yes, they have only One Name they go by, and it's All in the Name of Jesus!!!.
