Lesson 5
The Deity of Jesus Christ

Previous Lesson | Index | Next Lesson

Jesus is God incarnate or God in human form. Colossians 1:15-16 states that "He is the image of the invisible God the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created...". The Scriptures testify to the fact that Jesus eternally exists with the Father. He is God who became flesh so as to exemplify the true image of God before men and ultimately to die for men's sins, be buried and rise again. The objective of this study is to show through Biblical evidence that Jesus Christ is God.
