It has been on my heart for some time now to bring a series of messages on the eternal sonship of Christ, His deity, and His place in the Holy Trinity as God the Son.
The subject of the deity of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God, and His eternal sonship is a subject that is higher than the heavens, deeper than the deepest sea, and one that we who are God’s people will continue to learn about throughout all the ages to come. It is a subject that has been preached about for millenniums, rejoiced in by God’s people for ages, and something into which the angels have looked with amazement from the beginning. Yet it is also a subject that is hated, scorned, belittled, denied, and laughed at by Satan and his followers since the beginning of creation.
At the outset, I want to emphatically state that Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God, is all that the Scriptures represent Him to be: the second Person of the holy Trinity, God Incarnate, Who is to be worshipped and obeyed by all men. Therefore, any hope that any poor sinner has for heaven and complete salvation from the penalty, power, and presence of sin, must of necessity rest wholly and completely upon the deity of Jesus of Nazareth, Who is the Christ of God; for the Scriptures plainly declare that He, and He alone, is the way, the truth, and the life—and no man cometh unto the Father, but by Him (Joh 14:6). The Scriptures declare that, without His perfect humanity, we would have no perfect offering for our sins before the thrice-holy God, against Whom we have sinned. Further, the Scriptures declare that, without His deity, we have no perfect blood that would speak forgiveness for our sins. And, without His deity, we have no one who could bear the full weight of the wrath of a sin-avenging God against our sins, for Scripture plainly declares that He, the Christ of God, bore our sins in His own body upon the cross, and by Him and Him only, poor sinners are reconciled unto God.
Another statement that is also true and undeniable (except by those who are so blind that they cannot see!), is this: Jehovah, God of the Old Testament, is Jehovah Jesus, the Christ of God of the New Testament. The same divine names, the same divine attributes, the same divine offices, and the same worship are given to both. To say that Jehovah God of the Old Testament is not Jehovah Jesus of the New Testament, or that Jesus of the New Testament is not Jehovah God of the Old Testament, is to declare that we have two Gods—and this is blasphemy; for Isaiah 42:8 reads, “I am the LORD [Jehovah]: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another.” And Deuteronomy 6:4 states, “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD.” Therefore I declare upon the authority of God’s Word today that the sixty-six books of the Bible, the Holy Word of God, present to us the one true and living God.
I acknowledge that the doctrine of the deity of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ of God, is denied by every cult, every false religion, and every false teacher, because they deny the Scriptural teaching of the “Trinity in Unity,” the one true, living God as He is manifested to us in His three personages: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But this only shows their spiritual blindness to the eternal Word of God, which from Genesis to Revelation speaks of the one true and living God, Jehovah, revealing Himself unto His people as their Father, their Saviour (the Son), and their Comforter (the Holy Spirit)—Trinity in unity, or unity in Trinity, One God, Who alone is all in all…
