these verses and able to know or understand more about our Lord, Savior Jesus Christ.
"All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."
We know that the Word becomes flesh and that is Jesus Christ (John 1:14). So, Without Jesus, nothing
would have been made or no creation of all things. This would mean then that Jesus cannot have been a
“created being” or Jesus cannot be part of the creation or created first, because Jesus was in the
beginning with God (John 1:2).
Psalms 95:6-7
“Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For
He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.”
The primary reason why we kneel before our Lord Jesus Christ and worship Him, because He is God. So the
right version of John 1:1 must be:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
Here, we can say that Jesus Christ was involved during creation and He is our Creator.
John 8:56-59 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad. Then the Jews
said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM. Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but
Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."
Again, Jesus Christ was claiming that He existed before father Abraham even born. He was also claiming to
be the "I AM"
Genesis 1:2 "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the
deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."
So, Genesis 1:2 tells about the work of the Holy Spirit during creation. All things were created, by the
authority of the Father, and through the work and word of the Son Jesus Christ. Then God also provided
the work of His Spirit. The “hovering” can be seen as a movement, and therefore an input of energy.
The scriptures below teaches that God is a trinity, He is three persons, but one God.
Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;"
- This proved that God is a plurality.
1 John 5:7 “For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and
these three are one.”

In Colossians 1:15, it has been alleged that firstborn means that Jesus was the first creation
of God. Does this mean that Jesus Christ was a created being?
The Greek word: “prototokos” which is translated as “firstborn” does not require a meaning of first
created or firstborn- first child born in a family. It can refer to someone who is “preeminent in rank”.
“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. “
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for
him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together (Colossians 1:16, 17).
Five (5) more times, the Lord Jesus is declared to be the first-born of God.
1.) Romans 8:29 “For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His
Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.”
2.) Colossians 1:18 “And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence”
3.) Hebrews 1:6 “But when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God
worship Him.””
4.) Hebrews 12:23 “to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God
the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect”
5.) Revelation 1:5 “and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over
the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood”
If you say that, God is always superior to Jesus? How come the Bible verses below?
John 8:58 ‘Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”’
He not just says that Jesus existed before Abraham existed 2000 years ago. He also calls himself ‘I AM’,
which is the name of God. (Exodus 3:13–15)
It focus Christ's humility. He did not look like God on the outside but was completely God on the inside.
Jesus emptied himself by taking the form of a bond-servant, and became human like us. His submission of
death on that cross, led to being exalted or lifted up. So that He could forgive our sins if we believe in Him
(John 3:16).
Isaiah 41:4 “Who has performed and done it, Calling the generations from the
beginning? ‘I, the Lord, am the first; and with the last I am He.’ ”
Isaiah 44:6 “Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of
hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; Besides Me there is no God.”
John 5:18 “Therefore the Jews sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but
also said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.”
Matthew 28:8-9 “So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His
disciples word. And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they
came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him.”
Hebrews 1:6 ‘but when He again brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “Let all the angels of God worship
Him.”’
Matthew 14:33 'Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son
of God.”'
1. Matthew 1:23
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his
name, Immanuel (which means, God with us).
In some sense, in the coming of Jesus, God is “with” us. What does this mean?
In what sense is God with us? I believe the straightforward understanding of this
is that Jesus is God, so when he takes on human flesh and comes to earth God
is, in fact, with us.
2. Mark 2:5-7
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are
forgiven.” Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in
their hearts, “Why does this man speak like that? He is blaspheming!
Who can forgive sins but God alone?”
To answer the scribes’ question: No one can forgive all of a person’s sins except
God. The reader is left with a decision: Is Jesus blaspheming? Or is Jesus God?
Surely, the writer of this Gospel, Mark, is insinuating that Jesus is, in fact, God,
rather than a blasphemer!
3. John 1:1
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the
Word was God.
John begins his Gospel by talking about “the Word” and saying essentially three
things about “the Word”:
So, of course, this raises the question: Who could possibly be all three of these
things at the same time? It’s an astonishing statement. John 1:14 answers the
question: “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen
his glory.” He is clearly talking about Jesus Christ, and he is referring to the
transfiguration (see Luke 9:28-36).
4. John 5:18
This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because
not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his
own Father, making himself equal with God.
Here is evidence that Jesus himself claimed to be God (or that his enemies
misunderstood him). However, the apostle John does not try to correct this
misunderstanding. He seems instead to affirm that this is the reason his enemies
wanted to kill him (and they were right in this matter – not to kill him, but that he
was claiming to be God).
5. John 20:27-29
Then [Jesus] said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands;
and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but
believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to
him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?”
There are other situations like this in the New Testament, where for example, a
person worships Peter (see Acts 10:25-26), and Peter tells him, “Stand up; I too
am a man.” Jesus makes no such correction, but instead affirms the man’s faith
(and, in essence) his worship. Clearly, in the Bible, Christian worship is reserved
exclusively for God.
6. Philippians 2:5-7
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who,
though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a
thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a
servant, being born in the likeness of men.
7. Colossians 1:15
[Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
For by him all things were created…
Notice the apostle Paul is saying here that “by [Jesus] all things were created.”
This is a pretty astonishing statement to be made about any man! Nothing like
this was ever said about Moses or David or Paul. The implication (as we saw in
Philippians 2) is that Jesus existed before he was born of the virgin, Mary. How
can we explain this? Jesus is God.
8. Colossians 2:9
I don’t know how else to explain this, than to say that the apostle Paul is saying
that Jesus is fully divine. Jesus is “the” visible expression of God.
To those who have obtained a faith of equal standing with outs by the
righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Both the apostle Paul and the apostle Peter refer to Jesus as our “God” and
Savior. Pretty straightforward.
[Jesus] is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his
nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.
This is not the description of any angel or any man, even a superhuman man.
This is a description of God. Because Jesus is God.
There are many, many more examples in the New Testament, but see that the
Christian belief that Jesus is God is not a simple misinterpretation of two or three
passages, nor is it based on one or two obscure passages. This theme is
pervasive and emphasized in the four Gospels and in the New Testament letters.
You cannot avoid it. Though you can nit and pick about what individual passages
may mean, there is clearly a pattern of making claims about Jesus that could
only be true of God (and are never said about anyone else in all of the Bible). He
is the unique God-man.
