GOD & JESUS: It is imperative that the believer understand that Jesus Christ is not God! Even Jesus confirms that he does not rise to the level to be equal with God and never pursued that position as revealed in Philippians 2:5-11. He is the Son of God. However, he has been ‘highly exalted’ and given all the authority of God and even bears the ‘name of his Father’. Jesus own claim is that while he and his Father are one, “Jesus said unto him, why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God!” Matthew 19:17. And again: “my Father is greater than I” John 14:28.
Paul records in the letter to the Corinthians that Jesus too will be subject to his Father as stated: “And when all things shall be subdued unto him (Jesus), then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” 1 Corinthians 15:28.
There is one God and one Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 8:6; Jesus is the mediator between man and God, 1 Timothy 2:5. In all things, Jesus is at one with the Father, in purpose, mind and virtue, John 10:30. And now Jesus can die no more for he had died to sin. Romans 6:9 & Hebrews 1:3. The fact that Jesus lives and was resurrected is the proof given to all men that God can and will fulfill His promises. Acts 17:31.
