Prayer
Let us bow our heads in prayer and pray for guidance and strength.
Eternal God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant us Your Holy Spirit who writes the preached word into our hearts so that we may receive and believe it, and be gladdened and comforted by it in eternity. Glorify Your Word in our hearts. Make it so bright and warm that we may find pleasure in it, and through Your inspiration think what is right. By Your power fulfill the Word, for the sake of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord. Amen.
Martin Luther
Show me Thy ways, O Lord; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth, and teach me: for Thou art the God of my salvation; on Thee do I wait all the day long.

Topic - Who is GOD - Jesus is GOD
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and the Word was GOD. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (John 1:1,14 - KJV)
Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; (John 14:11a - NASB)
For in Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9 -KJV)
He is the radiance of the glory of GOD and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power. (Hebrews 1:3a - ESV)
Jesus, the "Son of GOD", is GOD in Scripture:
As the All-Powerful Creator:
GOD the Father:
† Genesis
1:1 † Isaiah 44:24 †
GOD the Son:
† John
1:1-3 † Colossians 1:16-17
† Hebrews
1:8-10 †
We Should Worship Him:
GOD the Father: Worship is reserved exclusively for GOD (not to
either mankind or angels).
† Exodus
20:5 † Luke 4:8 †
GOD the Son: Jesus received worship from both angels and mankind.
† Matthew
28:9 † Philippians 2:10 †
Hebrews 1:6
†
Authority to Forgive Sins and Omniscient:
GOD the Father: Scripture teaches that GOD alone has the authority to
forgive sin.
† Isaiah
43:25 † Psalm 32:5 † Psalm 130:4
†
GOD the Son: This same attribute is a part of Jesus’ ministry and
He knows what's in the heart.
† Mark
2:5-11 †
Omnipresent:
GOD the Father: GOD is all places at all time.
† Jeremiah
23:23-24 † Psalm 139:7-10
†
GOD the Son: Jesus tells his disciples He would be present.
† Matthew
18:20 †
Inherent Authority to declare the Words of God:
GOD the Son: In the Old Testament the prophets always prefaced their
prophetic statements with, “thus saith the
LORD.” They did this to demonstrate the source and hence authority of
the words. When Jesus utters the words of GOD He makes no such preface, but
rather says, “I say”, not as the prophets, “thus saith the LORD”.
† Matthew
5:22 † Matthew 5:28 † Matthew 5:32
† Matthew
5:34 † Matthew 5:39 † Matthew 5:44
†

First and the Last:
GOD the Father:

GOD the Son:
† Revelation 1:17-18
† Revelation 2:8
†
Alpha & Omega:
GOD the Father:
† Revelation 1:8 †
Revelation 21:6
†
GOD the Son:
† Revelation 22:13
†
King of kings and Lord of lords:
GOD the Father:
† 1
Timothy 6:15-16 † Deuteronomy 10:17
† Psalm
136:3 †
GOD the Son:
† Revelation 17:14 †
Revelation
19:16 †
I'll will add more scripture and examples as time permits.
† If you want to begin a relationship with God now, you can.
God views your relationship with Him as permanent. Referring to all those who believe in Him, Jesus Christ said of us, "I know them, and they follow me; and I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand (John 10:27-30)."
