Bible Question:
In St. John 5:17-18 What does it mean to be equal with God by nature? |
Bible Answer: Hi Tena and welcome to the forum. By comparing certain verses of scripture, in the Bible, with other verses, it paints a real vivid picture of who Jesus is. All will stand before God for judgment. Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: The Bible shows us who this judge will be. John 5:21-22 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: Thomas was speaking to Jesus, John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus created the very earth that he walked on. Col. 1:14-22 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Couple that verse with the following verse. Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Did you notice the God purchased it with his “own Blood”? He became a human to do that and His human name was Jesus. Col. 1:15 [Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: [16] For by him were all things created, “The him is Jesus”, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: [17] And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. [18] And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. [19] For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; [20] And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. [21] And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled: [22] In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: Jesus is the answer to what is referred to as the mystery of eternal life. John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. [12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 10:27-30 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: [28] And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. [30] I and my Father are one. 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. [11] And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. [12] He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. [13] These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Worship and praise God the Son and Live! CDBJ |
