Is Jesus GOD ?
"I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever!"-Revelation 1:17-18
Jesus ever asked to His disciples "Who do you say I am?" (Matthew 16:15; Mark 8:29; Luke 9:20), and Jesus answered by claiming that He was God. He also explicitly told the Jews: "'I and the Father are one (John 10:30-33). And many more He himself claim that He is GOD.
Furthermore He proved omniscience by telling Peter, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times" (Matthew 26:34) and it happend; declared omnipotence by not only resurrecting Lazarus (John 11:43) but by raising Himself from the dead (see John 2:19); and professed omnipresence by promising He would be with His disciples "to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Not only so, but Jesus said to the paralytic in Luke 5:20, "Friend, your sins are forgiven". In doing so, He claimed a prerogative reserved for God alone.
Jesus not only claimed to be God but also provided many convincing proofs that he indeed was divine.First, Jesus demonstrated that he was God in human flesh by manifesting the credential of sinlessness (2 Corinthians 5:21) And this is not a singular statement. John declares, "and in him is no sin" (1 John 3:5), and Peter says Jesus "committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth" (1 Peter 2:22). Jesus himself went so far as to challenge his antagonists asking, "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin?" (John 8:46).
Furthermore, Jesus demonstrated supernatural authority over sickness, the forces of nature, fallen angels, and even death itself. Healing every disease and sickness (Matthew 4:23), rebuking the wind and the waves (Mark 4:39), encounters a man possessed by an evil spirit and commands the demon to "Come out of him!" (Luke 4:35), He also tells a royal official whose son was close to death, "Your son will live" (John4:50). And the four Gospels also record how Jesus demonstrated ultimate power over death through the immutable fact of his resurrection.
The Bible that is consist of 66 books, was written by at least 40 different authors over a period of about 1600 years, in 13 different countries and on three different continents and it was written in at least three different languages by people in all professions, has incredible unity, it has one purpose that is telling about Jesus, the Savior. And there are over 300 precise prophecies that deal with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Old Testament that are fulfilled in the New Testament.
He is truly GOD, and He loves you, and remember "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any one hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him". --Revelation 3:20
