Christ’s Absolute Deity

The Biblical presentation of God in Christ (His omnipresence), observed specifically through many expressions of Christ’s absolute Deity that are especially found in the Gospel of John, which also addresses His eternal essence, is underscored in John 3:11-12:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, “We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and you do not receive our witness. If I have told you of earthly things, and you do not believe, how shall you believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?”

I have used this passage many times during the ministry of CTF referring to the eternality of the Creator, the Lord Jesus Christ! The bottom line on the occasion mentioned here is the presentation to Nicodemus, a ruler in the Temple, concerning Christ’s ultimate deity!

Is Jesus God in the flesh? Or is He simply an impostor? When the Apostle Paul wrote to Timothy (I Timothy 3:16) that “God was manifested in the flesh… seen of angels…” etc., what did he mean? Was he irrefutably saying that Jesus was God, the Son? Was he somehow identifying Christ’s birth with the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14… that the LORD Himself shall give us a sign; in that a virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, who must be called Immanuel (God with us!)?

We immediately respond that it must have been “God” the Son that was manifest in the flesh. But Apostle Paul also tells in
1 Corinthians 8:6 that there is but one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ!

Is it the generally accepted teaching of Scriptures that Christ was the Father’s redemptive offering for the sins of the world? Yes! Moreover, God was in Christ (the incarnation) for the primary purpose of reconciling by His shed blood the world (including you and me) to Himself. Paul wrote to the Church in Galatia (4:4-6) that God sent forth His son born of a woman, born under the Law, to redeem them that were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

To God is the glory, for by Him “we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.” (Ephesians 1:7)

Providence

By Matt Miles • January 23, 2026

As we begin a new year, it brings new potential and a figurative “clean slate”. Yet at all times it is always good to remember that the Lord never changes and neither does His purposes. His desire is that all come to Him for salvation. As it is not all will seek their Creator, yet He is always at work around us guiding life through the present sinful, cursed world. His purposes are always to bring glory to himself as our Great Almighty Lord God. This divine guiding, moving, and protecting of His Spirit in the affairs of life is called Providence , our theme for the year here at Creation Truth. His Providence has always been at work since the beginning, guiding for the purpose he has designed us for. Over the course of history, we as people have missed it or chosen not to follow it. Providence of the Lord is what guided His people out of Egypt to the Promised Land. Even while suffering judgment for their sin in the desert, there was Providence , providing for their needs with daily manna and encouraging them on to the Promised Land. At just the right time, Providence bestowed to us a Savior, Jesus Christ. Never would we have planned or made provision for the Savior of the world in the manner He came to earth. All of His work while in the flesh was done to point us to Him and His Glory. Providence was fulfilled on the cross for all eternity with the way for all to find the Lord and salvation, to be guided out of death and overcome the trial of this life through His death, burial and resurrection. Providence , 250 years ago, guided our country’s forefathers to seek a land to freely worship their Creator and Savior, with freedom from tyranny and a pursuit of liberty for all. Even though not all were followers of the Lord, it was still more than evident that they knew His Providence had a protecting hand on us. Only by His great Providence did we become a country, for the Lord knew we would become a beacon of that freedom and, ultimately, the only true freedom that comes from Christ. Through many trials and failures in history we have sinned before our Lord, and we must continually repent and seek Him for forgiveness. His Providence has allowed our nation of people from many tongues and tribes to melt together. We have been, and I pray continue to be, the largest Christian nation in the world, proclaiming who He is before all else. This year, as we focus on His Providence , may you seek Him and be reminded of all the times He has guided, protected and blessed you for His name. David wrote in Psalm 31:3-5 of the Lord’s Providence : “For You are my high rock and my fortress; For Your name's sake You will lead me and guide me. You will bring me out of the net which they have secretly laid for me, For You are my strength. Into Your hand I commit my spirit; You have ransomed me, O Yahweh, God of truth.”(LSB) We at Creation Truth Foundation look forward to another year of opportunities to serve, champion, and exalt His Name. May you be guided, protected and blessed through Providence this year.
