So the Bible says in Romans 5-8, but God commended his love toward us, and that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. So the Bible makes it clear that God the Father, he sent his son Jesus Christ to this earth to take the penalty and punishment that we deserve. And the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is the son of God, but not only is he the son of God, he is God. And the Bible teaches a trinity, where there's the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Is that something that you believe? Well, I've always been taught that he's the son of God. Okay. But I thought they were three different, whole different ordeals. Like three different persons, one God, or? I always was taught that God the Father is God, and that Jesus was just his son. Okay, so maybe you're not sure if Jesus is God? Yeah. Okay. The Bible does teach that Jesus Christ is also God, and that there is three persons that are distinct from one another, but there is only one God. I can show you in the Bible in 1 John 5, verse number 7, the Bible says, For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. And so there's three in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost. But the Bible also tells us in John chapter number 1 about the Word, because we just saw there was the Word and the Father. The Word's just a name for Jesus Christ, and it also mentions him in John chapter number 1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God. So there's the two together, right? But then it says, And the Word was God. So the Word actually is God at the same time, so the same was in the beginning with God. The Bible also says, And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. So another name for Jesus Christ is the Word, and he is the Son of God for sure. He's the begotten of the Father, but he also is God. And the Bible tells us in Matthew chapter number 1 about Jesus Christ's birth, whenever he was born on this earth. It says, And she shall bring forth a son, talking about his mother Mary, and thou shalt call his name Jesus. So we're talking about Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins. And it says, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which being interpreted is, what, God with us. So notice how Jesus Christ is described. He's described as God with us. So the Bible makes it clear that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and he is God. However, he is not the Father. There is a distinction there. One earthly example I use to describe this would be, you know, time. Time has three components that we can think of as far as there's the past, the present, and the future. You could say that the past is time, right? And that the future is time, correct? But would you say that the past is the future? No, there's kind of a distinction between the two. And so just in the same way, Jesus Christ is God, God the Father is God, there's only one God, yet that God is comprised of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. These three have always existed. And the Bible makes it clear in Colossians, chapter number one, that Jesus Christ is the express image of his person. It says in Colossians, chapter number one, talking about Jesus Christ, it says, Who had delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, and whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins, who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature. For by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things are created by him and for him. So just like it said in the beginning of John chapter one that the word was there with God, that's what created the entire world. And so Jesus Christ is our creator, he's always been with God, he is the Son of God, but he's also God at the same time. Is that something you believe now? Yeah, that's what the Bible says. Great.
