Jesus the “Almighty God”

If you look at Psalm 100:3 it says: “Acknowledge that the LORD is God!  He made us, and we are his.”

Many times Jesus referred to His own deity, both directly and indirectly, Jesus used the terms “Son of Man” and “Son of God” often.  Both referred to His divine nature (Daniel 7:13,14; Matthew 26:63,64).  Jesus also used the specific words I am (Ego eimi in Greek, Ani bu in Hebrew) on several occasions (e.g., John 8:56-58).  God used these same words to describe Himself to Moses.  Jesus also states specifically that He and God (Father) are “one” (John 10:30), meaning, the same substance, nature and essence.

We also find in Isaiah 9:6, that Jesus is referred to as a “Mighty God”

Did you know that “Mighty God” is translated from Hebrew word Elohim,  a very common name for God in the Old Testament; used 2,570 times.  Means: “strong one” plural ending (im in Hebrew) indicates fullness of power.  “God of all the earth” “God of heaven”.

Jesus is called “Everlasting Father” in Isaiah 9:6,  is better translated “Father of eternity” in this context carry the meaning “possessor of eternity.”

In Isaiah 40:3, we find that Jesus is called both Yahweh (Jehovah) and Elohim in the same verse.  This verse was written in reference to future ministry of Jesus (see John 1:23) and represents one of the strongest affirmations of Christ’s deity in the O.T.

We all know that we only pray directly to God, refer to John 14:13, John 15:16 you will find that we direct our prayers to Jesus.

We also know that we only worship God, Jesus always accepted such worship as appropriate: 

From Peter  (Luke 5:8)
From Thomas  (John 20:28)
From Angels  (Heb 1:6)
From Old Testament saints  (Joshua 5-13-15)
From Demons  (Mark 5:6)
We see all of heaven worshiping Jesus  (Rev 5:11)


What the Bible says about Jesus
Revelation 1:7-8 says:  Jesus is the Almighty
Genesis 17:1 says:  The Almighty is God

John 18:51 says:  Jesus is the I Am

John 8:24 says:  Jesus is I Am He
Isaiah 43:10 says:  I Am He is God

Hebrews 1:6 says:  Angels worship Jesus

Acts 4:12 says:  Jesus is the One Savior
Isaiah 45:21 says:  The One Savior is God

Isaiah 45:23 says:  Every knee must bow to God

Did you know that there are about 3,856 verses directly or indirectly concerned with prophecy in Scripture, about one verse in six tells of future events?  God’s challenge to the world is “Prove Me now, I am the Lord … I will speak, and the word that I speak shall come to pass.”  (See Jeremiah 28:9; Ezekiel 12:25)  Buddhists, Confucianists, and Muslims have their own sacred writings, but in them the element of prophecy is obviously absent.  

In the brief life of Jesus alone we see over 300 fulfilled prophecies!  Only Jesus as an all-knowing God could make and fulfill.


Here are few other biblical passages proving that Jesus is God: 

Isaiah 44:6
“Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of
host: “I am the First and I am the Last; besides Me there is no God.’”

Isaiah 43:10
“You are My witnesses,” says the LORD, “And My servant whom I have 
chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He.
Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall be after ME.”

Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the
Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Revelation 21:6
“And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End.’”

1 John 5:20
“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an 
understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is
true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”

1 Timothy 3:16
“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was 
manifested in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen by angels, preached
among he Gentiles, believed on in the world, 
received up in glory.”

Titus 2:13
“...looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God
and Savior Jesus Christ…”

John 8:58
Jesus said to them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was,
I AM.’”

Isaiah 7:14
“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall 
conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.”
(Immanuel translated:  “God among us.”)

Philippians 2:10-11
“…that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and
of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should 
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

(There will come a day that all angels, all prophets, all religious leaders, including Buddha, Confucius, Muhammad bowing down to Jesus)

We also find in Scripture that Jesus is described as: 

•	OMINIPRESENT  Matt. 28:20
•	OMNISCIENT  John 2:24
•	OMNIPOTENT  Heb.1:3
•	CREATOR  John 1:1-3
•	ETERNAL  Micah 5:2, Heb 1:8
•	GOD  Heb. 1:8; Titus 2:13; John 1:1; John 20:28
Conclusion: We clearly see that Jesus Christ claims to be God in human flesh and clearly identified as God. He is to be prayed to, worshiped to, and possess the many attributes of God.

Can you see now, that Jesus is God?
