In Jesus the Fullness of the Godhead Bodily - PART 170

And in Jesus does all the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily. Jesus, being the unseen spirit of God manifest in the flesh. There is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we are in Him, and our Lord Jesus the Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.

For the only wise God, the creator of all who is one (and indeed His name is one) is infinite and inseparable. When one searches the scriptures, there are innumerable Biblical references that confirm this point. Deuteronomy 6;4 and Zechariah 14;9 for example - the Father begetting the Son, and the Spirit being sent. Of course, all of this we embrace for He has said, "Thou art my Son. This day have I begotten thee." In Psalms 2:7 and Hebrews 1:5, the scriptures state, "And He has sent His Spirit into our hearts." Other references include Galatians 4:6 - "The Father is in the Son and the Son is in the Father" or "In the bosom of the Father." John 1:18 and John 17:21-23. Therefore the Godhead is not divided, nor separate, but rather, God is one, and likewise, of one infinite nature and substance.

Further, Christ being the image of the invisible God and the first born of every creature, by whom all things were created, both in Heaven and on Earth (Collosians 1)

Yes, the Son of God is the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His substance. Hebrews 1:3 states, "And it was in due time God was manifest in the flesh." I Timothy 3:16 states that in the fullness of time, God sent His Son. Galatians 4 provides another example. For the Son of God was made manifest to destroy sin. (I John 3:8) And as now a manifestation, God’s Spirit is being given to whosoever believes that believing man may altogether profit. (I Corinthians 12) So we believe in the manifestation of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit for in unity are the true God!

Jesus the Christ being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, and yet as a Son, in the fullness of time, was sent of the Father, and took upon Himself the form of a servant. (Phil 2:6-7) In which state He said, "My Father is greater than I." (John 14:28) Whilst in that state, He learned obedience by the things that He suffered, and now He has become a High Priest, after the Order of Melchisedec, and is the author of eternal salvation, unto all them that obey Him. (Hebrews 5) And God has given all who believe eternal life in his Son.

For unto us a child is born, and a Son is given to govern, whose name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6) And He -- Jesus is over all. (Romans 9:5) For He -- Jesus is the true God. (I John 5)

And in JESUS does all the fullness of the Godhead dwell bodily. Jesus being the unseen spirit of God manifest in the flesh. And the wise men worshipped the young child, the Son of God, for surely God has declared that Jesus who unbelievers crucified is both Lord and Christ! And let all the angels of God worship Him!
