Jesus IS God

Welcome back friends. On another Xangans page a person was proclaiming their belief in God yet at the same time they said they were sick of people saying that Jesus is the only way. She said that Jesus isn't God and he never said he was. That as long as you follow God then all you have to do is use Jesus as an example, nothing more. Well, in case any of you feel the same way, or know someone who does; allow me to set the record straight.

First, the Bible says that Jesus is God.

John 1:1 - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Second, Jesus declared that He is God.

John 8:58 - Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.” (The "I AM" is the name God gave to Moses in Exodus 3:14.)

Third, Jesus did speak of being one with God.

John 14:11 - Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Fourth, there is no other way to God except through Jesus.

John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 1:17 - For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

Romans 1:8 - First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

Romans 16:27 - to God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen.

I could go on and on but it really isn't necessary. Trust in Jesus; He will lead you to God. Below is a link for anyone who wishes to hear Sunday's Sermon from my church.
