A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY

All gospel teaching is based upon the deity of Christ. The apostles and prophets were so fully imbued with this truth that it appears everywhere in their writings. Jesus Christ is "the image of the invisible God." Colossians 1:15. "He reflects the glory of God and bears the very stamp of His nature." Hebrews 1:3. He was in the beginning with God and was God before the world was. John 1:1; 17:5. "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together." Colossians 1:17

"Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead" are associated on equal terms. "I and the Father are One." John 10:30. They both sit upon one throne. Hebrews 1:3; Revelation 3:21. The counsel of peace is between them both. Zechariah 6:12, 13, KJV. Jesus was the Son of God all His life, although He was of the seed of David according to the flesh; but it was by the resurrection from the dead, accomplished by the power of the Spirit of holiness, that His Sonship was demonstrated to all. Romans 1:3, 4. This letter has the same authority as Paul's apostleship.
