4 days ago · Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:9-11
Jul 26, 2024 · The most important reason that Jesus must be God is that, if He is not God, His death would not have been sufficient to pay the penalty for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2). A created being, which Jesus would be if He were not God, could not pay the infinite penalty required for sin against an infinite God. Only God could pay such an infinite ...
Nov 6, 2024 · We rightly confess in the Nicene Creed that Jesus is “God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made.”. Hebrews 1:3 is one of the key places in Scripture where we are confronted with that great mystery. Christ is the radiance of the glory of God. In Isaiah 42:8, we read that Yahweh will not give His glory to another.
The question of Jesus’s divinity has been at the epicenter of theological discussion since the early church. At the First Council of Nicaea in AD 325, the church fathers affirmed that Jesus is “true God from true God.”. Today, beliefs such as this one are confessed through creeds in churches around the world, and yet there remains ...

- Perfect Submission
- An Unfortunate Truth

The first line of the hymn could pose a potential problem if the rest of the lyrics did not help us understand. To say, “Jesus is mine,” sounds as if Jesus is a commodity I have acquired. Worse still, it is almost as if I possess or own Jesus, as if He were my servant, rather than the other way around. If we are not careful to understand the whole ...
The next two verses begin, “Perfect submission.” The writer is not saying that we somehow own Jesus, but He has me. The song speaks of the glory, both now and to come, of being perfectly submitted to the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Through this surrender and submission to Him, I can say the fullness of the blessings and glorious realities found in Je...
This is an important concept to grasp, not so much for the sake of the song, but because there are many who profess the Name of Christ, but perceive Jesus as a commodity they have chosen to acquire based on what He can and will do for them. Jesus is really just a “get out of hell free card,” or a means for some type of blessing to be cashed in. Whe...
We can have assurance of our relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and it is indeed a blessed assurance. We can know that we stand clean before God, forgiven of our sins, redeemed by the blood of Christ, awaiting our home in heaven. This blessed assurance comes, however, not when we grab Jesus up like the last piece of chicken at the dinner t...
Apr 2, 2020 · John went so far as to insist that to deny Jesus’ true humanity was anti-Christ (1 John 4:1–3). 2. Jesus lived for us as a true human being. He lived, taught, and resisted temptation as a true human being. He died as a true human being. And he rose as a true human being. We see what obedience to God’s law looks like.
