John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Colossians 1:27-29
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ. To this end I strenuously contend with all the energy Christ so powerfully works in me.

Selah.

IN THE BEGINNING WAS GOD.
GOD IS Father, Son, Spirit. Godhead.
Once upon a time I had a severe disagreement with a man who didn’t believe the Bible. He was outright claiming Jesus was not God on Earth! Fallacy! Lie! He went on to say we should respect other religions! Oh really?! Oh, no! Let’s look at this Scripture, God-breathed, still active and alive:

Exodus 20:1-3
And God spoke all these words: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before me.

Yes, once upon a time I had a severe disagreement with a man who didn’t believe the Bible. There are many, you know?

Matthew 7:13-14
“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Other people were with us. Some of us: believers. Some: maybe not. Only God knows…

Isaiah 40:25-26
“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

ON THE RESURRECTION DAY CELEBRATION and every day: the wise, the loving, the truth seekers and finders love God, love man. And as a result, we never back down.

Upon continuing the severe disagreement, I was not willing to back down. Why? Because no one calls God a liar to me and I remain silent! I refuse! I will stand for Him, I will trust Him and I am willing to lose anything to keep Him first. So should you.

God always have the final word. And on this Resurrection celebration remember: Jesus suffered, died, rose and sits at the right hand of the Father! Jesus is God!

Colossians 2:9
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form

THE WORD BECAME FLESH…
AND LIVES IN THOSE WHO LOVE HIM!

John 1:1-5
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.  Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Colossians 1:27-29

He is the one we proclaim, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone fully mature in Christ.
