Have you ever asked yourself who JESUS is? And, have you ever wondered if He is our GOD? If your answer is yes, then this article is for you. By the way, I used to believe that the LORD JESUS is just the Son of GOD and not GOD Himself. But, after attending some church services in a Christian Pentecostal church in college, I started to question who the real GOD is and what is His Name. Fortunately, last night that question was answered and revealed to me by the LORD JESUS. As I was reading an article about baby JESUS on the Bible app for kids which is called Superbook, I ran across a verse found in 1 Corinthians 12:3 which says tbis, "So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse JESUS, and no one can say JESUS is LORD, except by the HOLY SPIRIT." We can learn from this Bible verse that JESUS is our One and Only True Living GOD. And, no one can confess that He is GOD except when the person is guided by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand in the Book of John in the Bible in chapter 17 where the LORD JESUS prayed for His disciples before His arrest, I found verse which revealed the true GOD and His real Name. The verse is found in John 17:11. It says, “And now I am coming to You; I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world. Holy Father! Keep them safe by the power of your name, the name You gave me, so that they may be one just as You and I are one.” Notice that in the verse, the LORD JESUS humbly asked the Father, His Spirit to keep His people safe by the power of the Father's name, which is JESUS. JESUS is the name of our One True Living GOD. In other words, JESUS is our True GOD.
Moreover, in 1 John 5:20, it is also revealed that JESUS is our True GOD and eternal life. Let us ponder on the verse which says, “We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true. And we are in Him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.” It is clearly disclosed in the above-mentioned Bible verse that JESUS is the true GOD and eternal life.
Furthermore, in a different situation written in Matthew 4:5-7, the LORD JESUS also revealed that He is the LORD our GOD when Satan tempted Him. He told Satan not to tempt the LORD our GOD. Let us consider these verses which say, “Then the devil took Him to the holy city and had Him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone." Jesus answered him, "It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test." The LORD JESUS rebuked Satan not to test Him because He is the LORD our GOD.
On the other hand, in Revelation 1:17-18, the LORD JESUS revealed to Apostle John in a vision that He is the First and the Last and He is the Living One. Let us contemplate on these verses which say, “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. I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades." The truth about the LORD JESUS here is clearly revealed in the above-mentioned Bible verses because the LORD JESUS said that He was dead and now He is alive forever and ever. No one died for us except Him. Besides, the First and the Last in the Old Testament is our One and Only GOD. Let us check this verse in Isaiah 44:6 which say, "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." See, the LORD JESUS said He is the First and the Last and in Isaiah 44:6 He said that apart from Him, there is no GOD.
In other words, the LORD our SAVIOR in the New Testament in the Name of the LORD JESUS is also the same GOD that our ancestors worshiped before as accounted in the Old Testament. Let us meditate on these verses in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4 that the Apostle Paul wrote which say, “For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers and sisters, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ.” That Spiritual Rock that accompanied them as a pillar of clouds during the day and pillar of fire during the night is the LORD our GOD, the One who made the heavens and the earth and it is revealed according to the verse above that He is JESUS CHRIST. Additionally, Exodus 13:21-22 further prove it. Here is the verse: “By day the LORD went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light so that they could travel by day or night.”
With all these being said, it is clear that the LORD JESUS CHRIST is our One and Only True Living GOD. Thank you so much, my dear reader, for reading this piece. I hope and pray that the Holy Spirit will also reveal these truths to you without any smear of doubt and confusion. Just ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and reveal the truth to you once you read this article. I pray that the LORD will strengthen your faith and increase your knowledge of Him. I love you with the love of the LORD JESUS. GOD bless you. Thank You for revealing these truths to me about You and for instructing and guiding me to write this article, LORD JESUS. All glory, honor, highest praises, and thanksgiving are Yours, LORD. I love You, LORD JESUS. Amen.
