Can You Defend The Deity Of Christ? | Part 1

In my lesson titled: Can You Defend The Deity Of Christ? | Part 1 ... My primary focus was to present the Scriptural evidence that proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jesus Christ is Deity… Or… In other words… Is a Divine being.

Something that every faithful Christian not only believes… But… Takes great comfort in is the fact that Jesus Christ is Deity… Or… In other words… That He has a Divine nature. To put it plainly… Jesus is God! Just like God the Father and God the Holy Spirit… Jesus is one of the three members of the eternal Godhead… Or… What some call the Trinity!

Although these statements are factual… Many people object to these statements about Jesus Christ. Many people do not believe that Jesus Christ is Divine. Many people… Including many well-known religious people and religious groups…. Deny the Deity (Divine nature) of Jesus Christ. Some examples of groups that deny the Deity of Christ are Muslims, Jehovah's Witnesses, modern-day Jews, Hindus, Buddhists… And… Of course… Atheists.

Before I got too far into this lesson… I provided two guiding principles that I noted would guide us in this discussion. First off… With this and with all spiritual topics… We must keep in mind that the Bible is God's inspired word. This means that the Bible is the absolute standard of authority on all religious matters. The second guiding principle that I stated that I wanted us to be led by in this sermon series is that we can understand what the Bible teaches. Some people believe and teach that the Bible cannot be understood... Or... That only certain people can understand it. However… The Bible reveals that everyone can understand the Bible and can understand the will of the Lord!

This lesson has seven main points to it that help to prove the Deity of Christ. Each of these seven main points… Along with the passages related to them… Set Jesus apart from all of mankind. When all seven main points and their corresponding passages are considered together… They make it abundantly clear that Jesus is one of the three members of the eternal Godhead.

The first main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that Jesus Christ was "in the beginning."

The second main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that He is the creator of the universe.

The third main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that Jesus is "I AM."

The fourth main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that the Bible reveals that Jesus was and is equal with God the Father… Thus… Proving that He is God.

The fifth main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that Jesus forgave sins and was sinless.

The sixth main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that Jesus received worship.

The seventh main point that helps prove Christ's Deity is that Jesus was resurrected from the grave… Never to die again!

This lesson may challenge what you currently believe... And that is okay! I do not want you nor anyone to take my words as the final authority... Because they are not the final authority!

God's word is the ultimate and final authority in all spiritual matters! I only want you and others to accept the words that I have spoken in this lesson if they line up with what the Bible teaches.

I invite you to put the words that I have spoken in this lesson to the test... Go and search the Scriptures for yourself... And see if what I have said is true. Always check and make sure that what I teach and what anyone else teaches lines up with what the Bible teaches!

Be like the noble Bereans who "received the word with all readiness, and searched the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so" (Acts 17:11). In 1 Thessalonians 5:21... Paul said, "Test all things; hold fast what is good."

If you ever believe that I have taught something that does not line up with the Bible... Please reach out to me and let me know... Because I only want to teach that which the Bible teaches! You can contact me by sending an email to me at gbgbiblicalguidance@gmail.com
