The One True God identifies Himself through the Bible, as the Creator and by His Name YHVH - the Eternal Most High. As omnipresent Spirit, YHVH manifested Himself in a human Body, born from an Israelite woman by miraculous Divine Insemination, to experience human life at first-hand and to succeed in perfect human nature. In this form, as 'Messiah ben Yosef', God provided Himself as the 'Unblemished Sacrifice' and paid with His Human Life for the reconciliation of 'His lost sheep' with His Covenant. When YHVH died on the Stake as a Man, most brutally murdered by His own Creation, His Spirit never died (for it lives eternally) and in Spirit He was still Omni-presently present throughout the Universe! Thus Messiah could say: "Break down this Temple, and in 3 days I will resurrect it again!" - How would this be done? - through His omnipresent Eternal Spirit. God is eternally ONE.
Isaiah 9:6 is one of the most powerful proofs that Jesus is God: "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father The Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 35:4-6 shows that Jesus is God: "Behold, your God… he will come and save you." This passage goes on to say that when God comes the eyes of the blind would be opened, the ears of the deaf would be unstopped, the lame would leap, and the tongue of the dumb would speak. Jesus applied this passage of Scripture to Himself (Luke 7:22) and, of course, His ministry did produce all of these things. Paul described Jesus as "the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13; NIV has "our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ"). According to Acts 20:28, the church was purchased with God's own blood, namely the blood of Jesus.Jesus is "the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15; II Corinthians 4:4).
Many verses of Scripture declare Jesus Christ to be the God of the Old Testament robed in flesh for the purpose of self-revelation and reconciliation.
