According to God, Jesus Christ is His Beloved Son:
Matthew 3:17 ""And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”"(NKJV)
This verse attests that Jesus Christ is not God. He is the Son of God but not God the Son as others believe.
According to Christ Himself, He is man:
John 8:40 ""But now you seek to kill me, a man who was told you the truth which I heard from God.""(RSV)
This proves that He is not God since God is spirit and has no flesh and bones unlike man.
John 4:24 ""God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.""(KJV)
Luke 24:39 ""Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.""(KJV)
Not an ordinary Man.
Jesus Christ is not an ordinary man, but a very special man bestowed by God with qualities not found in ordinary man.
Acts 2:22 ""My fellow Israelites, listen to these words: Jesus from Nazareth was a very special Man. God clearly showed this to you. He proved it by the miracles, wonders, and miraculous signs he did through Jesus. You all saw these things, so you know this is true.""(ERV)
We should worship Jesus not because He is God but because He was exalted by God and commanded to be worshiped for God’s glory:
Philippians 2:9-11 ""Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."" (NKJV)
Philippians 2:9-11 ""Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."" (NKJV)
God gave Christ all authority in heaven and on earth.
Matthew 28:18 ""Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me."" (NIV)
God made Him Lord:
Acts 2:26 "“Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”" (NIV)
God also made Jesus a Saviour:
Acts 5:31 ""Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.""(KJV)
Jesus is the mediator between one God and mankind:
1Timothy 2:5 ""For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,""
