Jesus Christ: his deity by ric gustafson
Colossians 2:9 says for in Christ the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily. The first glory of God is the eternal existence of Christ. God says that he is Alpha and Omega the first and the last. God is absolute reality, he will always be the first and last. Isaiah 44:6 says I am the first and last besides me there is no God. In Revelation 22, Christ says that he is Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end. He proclaims in John 8:58, before Abraham was I am.
Jesus Christ was begotten from his Father not made. God the Father bears witness to the deity of his Son. The deity of Jesus Christ is that he never had a beginning. He was always eternally begotten.
