These are some of the scriptures that tell me that Jesus is God
This first passage shows us that the Spirit was present at the beginning;
Genesis 1:2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the
Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And that there was definitely another presence besides God’s;
Genesis 1:26 26 Then God said, “Let
us make man in our image, in
our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
Now God made man in his own image and we have a body, a soul/intellect and a spirit – three parts to each of us. We are creative beings and all three parts of us are used in our creative processes. The intellect can’t do it alone, nor can the spirit, nor can the body.
Genesis 3:22 22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of
us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”
And as well as
God and the
Spirit there was also a
physical presence which made a
sound as he moved and was able to
call out to the man and woman because he couldn’t
see them.
Genesis 3:8-9 Then the man and his wife heard the
sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the LORD God
called to the man, “Where are you?”
In Isaiah we are given a prophecy that the child to be born would be called
Mighty God and
Everlasting Father.
Isaiah 9:6 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
And Jesus told us:
Matthew 23:9-10 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.
JOHN 10:30 “I and the Father are one.”
This next passage shows me that Jesus was present with God before the fall of Satan from heaven – so as I’ve already mentioned God and the Spirit this is the third presence in heaven at the beginning to whom God was talking.
Luke 10:17-19 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
Also what about this scripture – can it be any clearer?
John 1:1-5 The Word Became Flesh ~ 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
And Jesus himself says:
John 14:9 "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."
Also after his resurrection when Jesus appeared to the disciples, Thomas recognised the truth that here was God in the human form of the back-from-the-dead Jesus standing before him and worshipped him. And Jesus did not rebuke him for calling him my God.
John 20:27-29 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” 28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my
God!” 29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
MATTHEW 28:17 When they saw him, they worshipped him; But some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
And scripture also says;
Colossians 2:9 "For in Christ all the fullness of the
Deity lives in bodily form,"
Philippians 2:5-6 5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
1 JOHN 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: And these three are one. (King James Version)
And Through Isaiah the prophet, God spoke of being the
first and the last
Isaiah 44:6
“This is what the LORD says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.
Then Jesus himself tells us that
he is the
First and the Last; The one who was dead and is alive forever.
Revelation 1:17-18 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid.
I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Revelation 2:7-8 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes,
I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.
These are the words of him who is the
First and the Last, who
died and came to life again.
Revelation 22:12-14 12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
If you need proof you are not living by faith and living by faith is the only way to please God. Not using your own logic.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is
impossible to please God,
