How We Know Jesus Is God. It is important to study and understand the words of Jesus, particularly those printed in red in the Bible, because Jesus speaks of His divine authority and oneness with God. He is God. He declared, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30 KJV), and His words, “If you had really known me, you would know who my Father is. From now on, you do know him and have seen him!” (John 14:7 NLT). They are One. He expressed His perfect obedience to the Father with the statement, “I do always those things that please him” (John 8:29 KJV). This is our potential, in contrast to our human fallibility. Every believer’s life is part of God’s purpose. That fills me with gratitude. The Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 KJV, “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
When I read the first and last red-letter words of Jesus in the Gospels, beginning with His interactions with John the Baptist and Satan in Matthew 3, I see Jesus as the Author and Finisher of our faith. We are born again and grow into the image and likeness of God. As Proverbs 4:18 says, “The path of the just is as a shining light that shines more and more unto the perfect day.”
As I see you grow in your personal commitment to Christ and oneness with God. I am grateful for your openness to God’s Word. It motivates me to continue sharing these messages. To me, I'm talking to real people. I feel you and I'm glad about it. I can get emotional over it in my senior years about your heart being open for God and your response to the things that God is leading me to say to you now.
