4 John to the seven churches in Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,

5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth! To him who loves us, who has freed us from our sins by his blood,

6 and who has made us a kingdom, priests to God his Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever! Amen!

7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds. And every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of him. Yes. Amen!

9 When they arrived at the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood. He bound his son Isaac, and placed him on the altar, on top of the wood.

10 Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11 Then the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, "Abraham! Abraham!" And he answered: Here I am!

12 The angel said: Do not lay your hand on the boy, and do not do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, and that you have not withheld from me your son, your only one.

13 Abraham looked up and saw behind him a ram caught in a thicket by its horns; so Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

14 Abraham named that place Jehovah Jireh. That is why it is said to this day: On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.

15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time,

16 and said: I swear by myself, declares the Lord! because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore; and your descendants will take possession of the gate of their enemies.

18 All nations on earth will be blessed thru your offspring, because you have obeyed my voice.

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. This man was righteous and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

26 He had been divinely warned by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ.

27 He came to the temple, driven by the Spirit. And, as the parents brought the little child Jesus to fulfilll what the law required,

28 he took him in his arms, blessed God, and said:

29 Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace, according to your word.

30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,

31 Salvation that you have prepared before all peoples,

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, And the glory of Israel, your people.

[Luke 2][The Bible].
**********************************************************************************************************

9 Having left there, Jesus entered the synagogue.

10 And behold, there was a man there who had a withered hand. They asked Jesus, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" This was so they could accuse him.

11 He answered them, "Which one of you, if he has only one sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not grab it and pull it out?"

12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! It is therefore permissible to do good on the Sabbath days.

13 Then he said to the man: Stretch out your hand. He stretched it out, and it became as healthy as the other.

14 The Pharisees went out and conspired against him to kill him.

15 But Jesus, knowing this, withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed him. He healed all the sick,

16 and he strictly ordered them not to make him known,

17 so that what had been announced by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled:

18 Here is my servant whom I have chosen, my beloved in whom my soul delights. I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations.

19 He will not dispute, he will not cry out, And no one will hear his voice in the streets.

20 He will not break the crushed reed, And he will not put out the smoking flax, Until he has brought justice to triumph.

21 And the nations will hope in his name.

[Matthew 12][The Bible].

13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree," -

14 so that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles thru Jesus Christ, so that we might receive the promised Spirit thru faith.

15 Brothers (I speak in the manner of men), a well-formed disposition, tho made by a man, is not annulled by anyone, and no one adds to it.

16 Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It is not said: and to the posterities, as if it were many, but as it is one: and to your posterity, that is, to Christ.

1 Why this tumult among the nations, These vain thoughts among the peoples?

2 Why do the kings of the earth rise up And the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed? Against the Lord and against his anointed? -

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

5 Then he speaks to them in his anger, He terrifies them in his fury:

6 It is I who have anointed my king Over Zion, my holy mountain!

THANK YOU, FOR EVERYTHING, JESUS CHRIST! *****************************************************

Unfathomable Mercy, God Forgave Human Beings He Loves Their Sins! By taking on a Body of Flesh, the Eternal, Himself, came to This Earth, in order to Fulfilll His Will, which was to Redeem, Save, Human Beings from All Corners of the Entire World; First from the Jews, Then also from the Gentiles.

Only God Himself could accomplish what was necessary to bring eternal salvation to the midst of humanity. As it is Written:

2 The Lord looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there is anyone who is wise, who seeks God.

3 They have all gone astray, they have all become corrupt; There is none who does good, Not even one.

[ PSALMS 14 , 2 - 3 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God;

[ ROMANS 3 , 23 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

5 We are all like the unclean, And all our righteousness is like a stained garment; We are all withered like a leaf, And our iniquities carry us away like the wind.

[ ISAIAH 64 , 5 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

No Human Being could Save Himself by his Acts of Righteousness, nor Save Another.

In truth, there was only One Righteous: God Alone. That is why, It was God Himself who came into This World to Save His People, All His Children scattered throughout the Earth. Indeed, it is written thus:

4 Say to those who have an anxious heart: "Be strong, do not be afraid; here is your God, vengeance will come, God's retribution; he will come himself and save you."

[ ISAIAH 35 , 4 ]. **********************************************************************************************************

9 Be greatly rejoiced, daughter of Zion! Shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and victorious, He is humble and riding on a donkey, On a donkey, the foal of a donkey.

[ ZECHARIAH 9 , 9 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

The Lord Jesus Christ fulfilled this Prophesy during His Entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
[ LUC 19 , 29 - 40 ].

Thus, Jesus Christ is God Himself, the Only Righteous One, who took on a Human Body to Accomplish the Only Work of Justice that was to Save Human Beings from Sin and its Just Wage, which is Death, Eternal Death: Definitive Separation from God.

The Scriptures speak to us again, at length, about the Divinity of Jesus Christ. Here are a few:

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 She was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made thru her, and without her nothing was made that has been made.

4 In her was life, and the life was the light of men.

[ JOHN 1 , 1 - 4 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father.

[ JOHN 1 , 14 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

17 for the law was given thru Moses, grace and truth came thru Jesus Christ.

18 No one has ever seen God; the only Son, who is in the Father's bosom, is the one who has made him known.

[ JOHN 1 , 17 - 18 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

The Word that, in the Beginning, was with God, and was God; The Word thru which all things were made; This Word that became Flesh, is Jesus Christ. Therefore, Jesus Christ is God.

1 After having spoken to our fathers in the past many times and in many ways thru the prophets,

2 God, in these last days, has spoken to us by the Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, thru whom he also created the world,

3 and who, being the reflection of his glory and the imprint of his being, and upholding all things by his powerful word, made purification for sins and sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than theirs.

5 For to which of the angels did God ever say: You are my Son, Today I have begotten you? For to which of the angels did God ever say: You are my Son, Today I have begotten you? And again: I will be a father to him, and he will be a son to me?

6 And when he again brings the firstborn into the world, he says: Let all the angels of God worship him!

7 Moreover, he says of the angels: He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.

8 But he said to the Son: Your throne, O God, is eternal; The scepter of your reign is a scepter of equity;

9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore, O God, your God has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.

10 And again: You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands;

11 They will perish, but you endure; They will all wear out like a garment,

12 You will roll them up like a cloak, and they will be changed; But you remain the same, And your years will never end.

[ HEBREWS 1 , 1 - 12 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Here, we are told that it is thru Jesus Christ that the world was created.

However, there is only one Creator: God. Therefore, Jesus Christ is God. Moreover, in Verse 6, it is said that the Angels of God worship Jesus Christ. However, only God is due worship. So, Jesus Christ is God Worshiped. In Verse 8, Jesus Christ is called God: (But he said to the Son: Your throne, O God, is eternal; The scepter of your reign is a scepter of equity;). . .

It is also written:

50 He led them out as far as Bethany, and, lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

51 While he was blessing them, he departed from them and was taken up into heaven.

52 For them, after worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy;

53 and they were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.

[ LUKE 24 , 50 - 53 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

So, during the Ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ, His Rapture into Heaven, the Apostles worshiped Jesus Christ. So, Jesus Christ is God, since only God is Worthy of the Adoration of All Human Beings. Jesus Christ is the True Adorable God.

That is why, even when he was born here in this World, Jesus Christ was worshiped, as it is Written:

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2 and said, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?" for we saw his star in the East, and we have come to worship him.

3 King Herod, having heard this, was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 He gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, and he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

5 They said to him, "In Bethlehem in Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet:

6 And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.

7 Then Herod secretly called the magi and carefully inquired of them what time the star had appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search carefully for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and worship him.

9 After hearing the king, they left. And behold, the star that they had seen in the East went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was.

10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

11 They entered the house, saw the little child with Mary, his mother, bowed down and worshiped him; then they opened their treasures, and offered him as a present gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

[ MATTHEW 2 , 1 - 11 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Thus, Jesus Christ is truly the Adorable True God.

It is also written:

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. Everything was created by him and for him.

17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

18 He is the head of the body of the Church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that in everything he might be preeminent.

19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him;

20 he wanted to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace thru him, thru the blood of his cross.

[ COLOSSIANS 1 , 15 - 20 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Here, we are told that Jesus Christ is the Image of the Invisible God. So, Jesus Christ is God Himself, Quite simply.

5 Have in you the same attitude as that of Christ Jesus,

6 who, existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped,

7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men; and being found in human form,

8 he humbled himself, becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

9 That is why God has highly exalted him and given him the name that is above every name,

10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and that every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

[ PHILIPPIANS 2 , 5 - 11 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Here, we are told that Jesus Christ, existing in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped.

Who could claim to exist in the form of God and be equal with God, if not God Himself, the One and Only? There are not Several Gods, but Only One God. So, Jesus Christ is That One God.

19 We know that we are from God, and that the whole world is under the power of the evil one.

20 We also know that the Son of God has come, and that he has given us understanding so that we may know the True One; and we are in the True One, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God, and eternal life.

[ 1 JOHN 5 , 19 - 20 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Here, it is clear that Jesus Christ is God: The True God, and Eternal Life.

Here is another account of some events that took place when Jesus Christ was raised from the dead:

19 On the evening of that day, which was the first of the week, the doors of the place where the disciples were gathered were shut because of their fear of the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you!"

20 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

21 Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you!" As the Father has sent me, so I send you.

22 After these words, he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit."

23 Those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; and those whose sins you retain, they are retained.

24 Thomas, called Didymus, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, "Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

26 Eight days later, the disciples of Jesus were together in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be with you!"

27 Then he said to Thomas: Put your finger here, and look at my hands; put your hand here, and place it in my side; and do not be unbelieving, but believe.

28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him:

29 Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed!

[ JOHN 20 , 19 - 29 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Thomas therefore called Jesus Christ "His Lord and His God."
Jesus Christ is God.

Moreover, while He was on Earth, Jesus Christ had declared that He has the Power to Forgive Sins, According to the following Biblical Passage:

1 A few days later, Jesus returned to Capernaum. It was learned that he was at home,

2 and so many people gathered that there was no longer room for them in front of the door. He was proclaiming the word to them.

3 Some people came to him, bringing a paralytic carried by four men.

4 As they could not approach him because of the crowd, they uncovered the roof of the house where he was, and they lowered the bed on which the paralytic was lying thru that opening.

5 Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic: My child, your sins are forgiven.

6 There were some scribes sitting there, who were saying to themselves:

7 How does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who can forgive sins, if not God alone?

8 Jesus, immediately knowing in his spirit what they were thinking within themselves, said to them, "Why do you have such thoughts in your hearts?"

9 Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your bed, and walk'?

10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins:

11 I tell you, he said to the paralytic, get up, take your mat, and go home.

12 And immediately he arose, took up his bed, and went out in the presence of everyone, so that they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, "We have never seen anything like this!"

[ MARK 2 , 1 - 12 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

God Alone can Forgive Sins and know the Hidden Thoughts in the Hearts of Human Beings. Here, Jesus implicitly claims to be God who has come to Earth. Moreover, He performs a Wonderful Miracle by healing the Paralytic to attest to that.

Here is another Biblical passage where the Apostle Paul affirms the Divinity of Jesus Christ:

1 I speak the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience bears me witness by the Holy Spirit:

2 I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. I feel great sadness, and I have continual sorrow in my heart.

3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed and separated from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh,

4 who are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the worship,

5 and the promises, and the patriarchs, and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came, who is above all things, God blessed forever. Amen!

[ ROMANS 9 , 1 - 5 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Jesus Christ is therefore the eternally Blessed God.

Jesus Christ declared this:

30 I and the Father are one.

[ JOHN 10 , 30 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

It is also written:

1 Let not your heart be troubled. Believe in God, and believe in me.

2 There are many rooms in my Father's house. If it were not so, I would have told you. I will prepare a place for you.

3 And, when I have gone and prepared a place for you, I will come back and take you with me, so that where I am, you may be also.

4 You know where I am going, and you know the way.

5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except thru me.

7 If you knew me, you would know my Father also. And from now on you know him, and you have seen him.

8 Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."

9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; at least believe on account of the works.

[ JOHN 14 , 1 - 11 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Thus, the Father and the Son are not two different Persons. It is the same Person: Jesus Christ is God, and God is Jesus Christ.

Moreover, it is written:

18 Jesus, having approached, spoke to them thus: All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

20 and teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

[ MATTHEW 28 , 18 - 20 ].
**********************************************************************************************************

Here, it is not about Three or Several Names. Name is not written in the plural. It is a Single Name. The Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is: Jesus Christ. That is why, we are baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, as taught by the Apostle Peter, as it is written:

37 After hearing this speech, they were deeply moved, and they said to Peter and the other apostles: Brothers, what shall we do?

38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call.

[ ACTS 2 , 37 - 39 ]. **********************************************************************************************************

The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not Three Persons, but the Same and Unique Person: Jesus Christ God. Jesus Christ is the Name of the Eternal Savior God. Jesus Christ is God.

Jesus Christ is God who wanted to become a Simple Man to Save Human Beings. That is why He is, at the same time, fully Man and fully God. Which explains why He can, at the same time, speak and act like a man, and speak and act like God.

Jesus Christ is, at the same time, the True Man Blessed Eternally, and the True God Blessed Eternally.

John 3
Easy-to-Read Version

1 There was a man named Nicodemus, one of the Pharisees. He was an important Jewish leader.

2 One night he came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. No one can do these miraculous signs that you do unless they have God’s help.”

3 Jesus answered, “I assure you, everyone must be born again. Anyone who is not born again cannot be in God’s kingdom.”

4 Nicodemus said, “How can a man who is already old be born again? Can he go back into his mother’s womb and be born a second time?”

5 Jesus answered, “Believe me when I say that everyone must be born from water and the Spirit. Anyone who is not born from water and the Spirit cannot enter God’s kingdom.

6 The only life people get from their human parents is physical. But the new life that the Spirit gives a person is spiritual.

7 Don’t be surprised that I told you, ‘You must be born again.’

8 The wind blows wherever it wants to. You hear it, but you don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going. It is the same with everyone who is born from the Spirit.”

9 Nicodemus asked, “How is all this possible?”

10 Jesus said, “You are an important teacher of Israel, and you still don’t understand these things?

11 The truth is, we talk about what we know. We tell about what we have seen. But you people don’t accept what we tell you.

12 I have told you about things here on earth, but you do not believe me. So I’m sure you will not believe me if I tell you about heavenly things!

13 The only one who has ever gone up to heaven is the one who came down from heaven—the Son of Man.

14 “Moses lifted up the snake in the desert. It is the same with the Son of Man. He must be lifted up too.

15 Then everyone who believes in him can have eternal life.”

16 Yes, God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him would not be lost but have eternal life.

17 God sent his Son into the world. He did not send him to judge the world guilty, but to save the world through him.

18 People who believe in God’s Son are not judged guilty. But people who do not believe are already judged, because they have not believed in God’s only Son.

19 They are judged by this fact: The light has come into the world. But they did not want light. They wanted darkness, because they were doing evil things.

20 Everyone who does evil hates the light. They will not come to the light, because the light will show all the bad things they have done.

21 But anyone who follows the true way comes to the light. Then the light will show that whatever they have done was done through God.

22 After this, Jesus and his followers went into the area of Judea. There he stayed with his followers and baptized people.

23 John was also baptizing people in Aenon, a place near Salim with plenty of water. People were going there to be baptized.

24 This was before John was put in prison.

25 Some of John’s followers had an argument with another Jew about religious washing.

26 Then they came to John and said, “Teacher, remember the man who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River? He is the one you were telling everyone about. He is also baptizing people, and many are going to him.”

27 John answered, “A person can receive only what God gives.

28 You yourselves heard me say, ‘I am not the Messiah. I am only the one God sent to prepare the way for him.’

29 The bride always belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who helps the bridegroom just waits and listens. He is happy just to hear the bridegroom talk. That’s how I feel now. I am so happy that he is here.

30 He must become more and more important, and I must become less important.

31 “The one who comes from above is greater than all others. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth. He talks about things that are on the earth. But the one who comes from heaven is greater than all others.

32 He tells what he has seen and heard, but people don’t accept what he says.

33 Whoever accepts what he says has given proof that God speaks the truth.

34 God sent him, and he tells people what God says. God gives him the Spirit fully.

35 The Father loves the Son and has given him power over everything.

36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life. But those who do not obey the Son will never have that life. They cannot get away from God’s anger.”
