WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT JESUS

Scripture: 2 John 1:9, “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”
   
     Jesus is presented and proclaimed in the New Testament as being our Savior that has come to forgive all the sins of the world.  We see Him given many titles throughout the New Testament.  The Gospel accounts tell of His birth and of His teachings, His miracles and His death.  They tell us about His burial and His resurrection!  We believe that Jesus is the Savior of the world, but did you know that the Scriptures teach us that He existed before Bethlehem’s manger.
    The Bible teaches very clearly the preexistence of the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus said that He existed before Abraham.  In John 8:58 - “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”
     Genesis 1:1 tells us that “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The word used for God here is “Elohim”. The
word Elohim is the plural of El   and is the first name for God given in the Word of God.  It refers to the trinity, God in three person.  
    Jesus was with the Father in the beginning.  He is part of the Godhead.  In Colossians 2:9it says, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
    He not only was with God, but He was God.  He has the same attributes as God.  He is eternal!  He is holy. He is all knowing!  He has all power!  He is God!  He always has been and He always will be!
    He is seen in the Old Testament manifesting Himself at different times. In Gen. 32:24 it says, “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.”  Jacob here wrestles a man the Scripture says.  This man was the preexistent
Jesus.
