Jesus Christ Is God

Jesus Christ Is God

Jesus Christ is the everlasting God, equal with the Father.

This is not a comprehensive study but a reference guide of scriptures from the whole Bible that show Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God and equal to the Heavenly Father. He is distinct from Him as the Son, but yet they are one. And Jesus was not created. He is the eternal Creator, and in Him dwells all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

Let every word be established in the mouth of two or three witnesses.

Prepare yourself to see the glory.
