light.gif   The Truth About God and His Son

God is the One:

  • Who sent His [only begotten] Son. ( 1 John 4:14 , John 3:16 )

  • Who gave His spirit to His Son. ( John 3:34 )

  • Who has committed all judgment to His Son. ( John 5:22 )

  • Who gave to His Son to have life [existence] in Himself [self-existence]. ( John 5:26 )

  • Who gave authority to His Son. ( John 5:27 )

  • Who commanded His Son what to say and speak. ( John 14:29 )

  • Who gave His Son power over all flesh. ( John 17:2 )

  • Who gave His Son a work to do. ( John 17:4 )

  • Who appointed His Son to be heir of all things. ( Hebrews 1:2 )

  • Who annointed His Son. ( Hebrews 1:9 )

  • Who told His Son to sit on His right hand. ( Hebrews 1:13 )

  • Who gave His Son all power in heaven and earth. ( Matthew 28:18 )

  • Who highly exalted His Son. ( Philippians 2:9 )

  • Who gave His Son a name which is above every name. ( Philippians 2:9)

  • Who has given all things into His Son's hand. ( John 3:35 )

  • Who is the head of Christ. ( 1 Corinthians 11:3 )

  • Who is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. ( Ephesians 1:3,17 )

  • Who raised Jesus from the dead. ( 1 Corinthians 6:14 , Hebrews 13:20 )

  • Who created all things through His Son. ( 1 Corinthians 8:6 , Hebrews 1:1-3)

  • to Whom the Son will be subject to for all eternity. ( 1 Corinthians 15:28 )

    • Mark 12:29-34 :

    And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

    And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but HE: And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

    And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.

    We should love God with all our being. This is the greatest commandment. There is one God and there is none other but He.

    Do you think the Master knew Who the one God is? Did He correct the scribe or did He agree with the scribe's answer?

    For those of us who profess to follow the Master, we should believe what He believed, teach what He taught and be emulators of Him for He is our Lord and Master.

    Revelation 14:7 :

    Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.

    If you are not worshipping the one God of the Bible - the God and Father of our Lord and Master, I urge you to turn away from idolatry and worship only Him Who made all things ( Revelation 4:8-11 ) through His only begotten Son.

    Obedience is the highest form of worship.
