JESUS IS THE ONE TRUE GOD
• We believe there is only one God, who is eternal, infinite in power, holy in nature, and His deity is indivisible. (Deut. 6:4; Ps. 90:2; 1 Cor. 8:6; 1 Tim. 1:17; Levi. 19:2, Levi. 20:7, 1 Pet. 1:15-16; Jer. 10:10; 1 Tim. 6:16)
• In the Old Testament, at various times God manifested Himself in different ways (Heb. 1:1) as seen with Adam (the voice of the Lord), with Abraham (as  a man), with Moses (as a burning bush, in a pillar of a cloud and in a pillar of fire), and Joshua (as captain of the host of the Lord), just to name a few. In the New Testament, God became a man – Jesus Christ – while on earth He was Emmanuel, “God with us” (Matt. 1:23).
• The very same God of the Old Testament, Whom Israel knew as Jehovah, was and is the same God in the New Testament: Jesus. The name of Jesus means “Jehovah is salvation.” Jesus is Jehovah simply revealed as our Savior, observe: “For I [am] the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour” (Is. 43:3) “I, [even] I, [am] the LORD; and beside me [there is] no saviour” (Is. 43:11). “That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that [there is] none beside me. I [am] the LORD, and [there is] none else” (Is. 45:6), “and [there is] no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; [there is] none beside me” (Is. 45:21).
• We do not believe nor teach a trinitarian doctrine or creed. We believe a simple and clear monotheism, numerically Gos is one, just as the Bible declares. The Godhead is not compromised of three persons, but the fullness of the Godhead dwelled within Christ (Col. 2:9); Who was “the express image of his person” (Heb. 1:3), and “Who is the image of the invisible God” (Col. 1:15).
• “And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Tim. 3:16).
• God was manifest in the flesh, as Jesus Christ, born of Mary who conceived by God’s Spirit (Luke 1:15). This one and only God “came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself” (2 Cor. 5:19). Jesus on his Father’s side was divine, and on His Mother’s side was human. Thus, He was known as the Son of God, and also as the Son of man. Jesus in His humanity was man, in His deity was and is God.
• Jesus unequivocally declared to His disciples “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him” (John 14:7). When Philip desired to see the Father, Jesus reiterated His previous pronouncement, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father” (John 14:9)?
• Failure to see Jesus Christ as the invisible God manifested in flesh, is caused by spiritual blindness. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Cor, 4:4,6).
• Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev. 17:14, 19:16; 1 Tim. 6:15). “And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one” (Zech. 14:9). “One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all” (Eph. 4:5-6). “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble” (Jam. 2:19).

• The one true God, the Jehovah of the Old Testament, took upon himself the form of man, and as the Son of man was born of the virgin Mary. As Paul says, “And without controversy, great is the mystery of Godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory” (1 Timothy 3:16).
• “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11). This one true God was manifest in the flesh, that is, in His Son Jesus Christ. God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, (2 Corinthians 5:19).
• We believe that, “in Him (JESUS) dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). “For it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell” (Colossians 1:19). Therefore Jesus in His humanity was man, in His deity was and is God. His flesh was the lamb, or the sacrifice of God. He is the only mediator between God and man. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).
• Jesus on his Fathers’ side was divine and on His Mothers’ side, human. Thus, He was known as the Son of God, and also the Son of man. “For He hath put all things under his feet. When he saith all things are put under him. It is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto Him, 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 15:27-28).
• “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty” (Revelations 1:8).

Scripture records numerous names or titles for God, yet He still remains the one and only God. Throughout the
Old Testament, God progressively revealed Himself. The array of names and titles are a means to help reveal
something about God’s nature, His attributes, or how He interacts with people. However, in the New
Testament, God disclosed His name greater than all the others – Jesus Christ!
• One such prophesy of the Messiah’s birth declared the Son would be called “the Everlasting Father.” “Unto
us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon his should: and His name shall be
called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace” (Is. 9:6). Isaiah’s
prophecy was fulfilled when the Son of God was named, “and she shall bring forth a Son, and thou shall call
His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Isaiah’s prophesy is further
brought to pass when Jesus announced, “I am come in my Father’s name” (John 5:43).
• “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the
name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth”
(Phil. 2:9-10). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under Heaven given among
men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of
the Lord Jesus” (Col. 3:17). “For all people will walk every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the
name of the LORD our God for ever and ever” (Micah 4:5). We are thankful we know the wonderful name of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
