The Evidence Speaks Loudly! Jesus is God!

By John G. Frazier III, Ph.D.

The evidence for Jesus Christ’s Deity is truly Powerful! When we consider that there were over 300 Old Testament prophecies fulfilled by Jesus, that he did incredible miracles reported by eyewitnesses, and that he rose from the dead, we conclude that the evidence is sufficient.

These events give us a basis for understanding that when Jesus tells us who he is, when he tells us that he is God, he is telling the TRUTH! This means that he actually came from God the Father, lived a sinless life, had authority to forgive sins, was able to read minds, was deserving of worship, was able to answer prayer, could predict the future, gave believers eternal life, enjoyed a unique relationship with his Father in heaven, lived in perfect obedience to his Father, will be the Judge of all mankind in a future judgment, and fulfilled the redemption purpose for which he was sent.

Once we truly understand that Jesus Christ is God, we can move beyond the convincing evidence to the next step, and by reasoned faith, take hold of the astounding implications of that Deity. We can begin to appreciate his life and teachings as we should, and experience the benefits of putting our trust in him.

We can safely give ourselves to him, knowing that he loves us and is willing and able to receive us to himself and care for us eternally. And because we have good reason, we can submit to him as Lord. After all, he is Lord over ALL and he should be Lord over our lives. Also we will understand that we will never be in a better place than under his Lordship and saving grace.
