Is Jesus Christ God? Quite a number of people have boldly argued on this topic time and time again. What do you think? Is Jesus Christ, the man who came to earth, whom everyone saw live His life on earth right from birth also God? The one who was crucified and died for the sake of all humanity. How is that even possible, right? Well, not to worry, this article gives proof that Jesus Christ really is God.
Who is Jesus Christ?
I know that that name is very common among Christians.For an Islamic man, ‘Jesus Christ was a powerful and sinless prophet. He is not God, and He did not die on the cross’. These beliefs are backed up by made up theories that they can boldly defend, at times, even with their very own lives.
You must have heard that name before. Still, let me re-introduce Him. He is the son of God. Our Saviour, He is our redeemer. This man was sent by God to save humanity from the shackles of sin. He alone was found capable of doing it. I could go on all day but let me just stop here.
So then we know that Jesus Christ was here on earth, right? He was a man. How then is He God? Keep reading to discover the truth. I need you to read this with a Spiritual mindset.
Proof That Jesus Really Is God.
Only God has the power to save.
Yes! I had called Jesus Christ our Saviour. Now let’s look at it this way. Man was deep in sin, sin held man in bondage. God, not wanting His children whom He loves so much to keep suffering, decided to help. Afterall, man could not help man. They were all in the same predicament. So God Himself had to do something. He had to send a being that was not part of the guilt of man.
A being that was from another realm, to help man. The bible says He sent His word and healed them. So then He decided to come down because no one else has the power to save. He came in the form of man to save man. Interesting, right?
Jesus called Himself God.
How, you ask? In the book of Exodus 3:14, we see that God calls Himself The “I AM THAT I AM”. So every Hebrew knew that God Is The “I AM”. Then in John 8:56-59, Jesus Christ in verse 58 says “ Verily Verily i say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am”. The Hebrew men, knowing what Jesus meant- He called Himself God- were angry, they even tried throwing stones at Him. they believed it was blasphemous. There, Jesus already said it.
Jesus is I AM because He is God.
How? God can be at many places at once and still be on His throne too. The God on the throne is called “Abba” -Father. He is the one that God came out from. The one the movement originated from. God divides Himself, the One that proceeds out of the Father is the Son. This doesn’t mean one is greater than the other, it means God is where He is on the throne, He is also where He wants to be. He was originally on the throne, but He left the throne , yet he was still there. We can only understand by Faith.
John also testified that Jesus is God.
He introduced God when He was going to start writing. In John 1:1; “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” The Word is God Himself, that’s why He sent His Word and healed them, and blessed them. God honours His word even above His name. His Word is tangible in the spirit realm, now this is why I asked that you read this with a spiritual mindset. When God speaks, He gets to work.(Isaiah 55:11). John later said in verse 14 “and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us”. Need i say more? Well. God Himself is the Word, and now the same Word which we know is God, became flesh and dwelt among us- Jesus Christ. I hope you have seen it by now, well if you still haven’t, don’t worry.
Jesus was a sinless man when He walked on earth.
The devil knew that if Jesus Christ wasn’t God, He would sin. So he set out to tempt Him. The devil, since the dawn of man- Adam and Eve- had tempted man, and more often than not, man fell. Did Jesus fall? He didn’t, He was sinless, because He is God. He was blameless in all things.
His last test was death.
Let me ask this question. Who on earth ever died and resurrected on their own, without the help of anyone? Who? Think about it. Okay let me help if you still haven’t got it. It was Jesus Christ. He alone died and resurrected, because He is God. He has the power to rise up from the dead.
There was no priest who went and prayed for Him to rise again. Jesus could not be conquered by death, after all, He is the author of life. He had to prove to us. He came from eternity, went and came back again to prove it. He also went to the grave in order to conquer death on our behalf.
When you accept Jesus Christ, it becomes resident in your heart, the power to overcome sickness and death. He gave us the power to prevail and to administer the kingdom. “In the name of Jesus” means, I come in His stead. We are affirming that we represent Him, and that’s why the devil has to bow. We now have the right to participate in the kingdom. We have inherited what Christ has.
This man knows the path to the grave and even conquered it, why not choose to follow His path. I mean, it’s assured. I would and so should you. Following Jesus after all, is following God.
