Bible Note: Hello Dwayne, Here are two passages that speak of the Lord Jesus being of the same essence or nature as God, yet speak of them as distinct persons. Both of these demonstrate the omnipotence and sovereignty of God over creation. Col. 1:15-17 (ESV) He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. [16] For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. [17] And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Hebrews 1:3-4 (ESV) He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, [4] having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
