Jesus is not only equal to God (Phil 2:6), he IS God(John 10:30,38; 12:45, 14:1-11. , as the image of the invisible God, he is the exact representation of God. He not only reflects God, but he reveals God to us ( John 1:18, 14:9) He came from heaven, not from the dust of the earth (1Cor 15:47) and he is Lord of all(Romans 9:5, 10:11-13, Revelation 1:5, 17:14) He is completely holy(Heb 7:26-28, 1 Pet 1:19, 2:22, 1 John 3:5) and he has authority to judge the world(Romans 2:16, 2 Cor 5:10, 2 Tim 4:1) Therefore, Christ is supreme over all creation. We must believe in the deity of Jesus Christ( that Jesus is God) or our Christian faith is hollow, misdirected, and meaningless. This is a central truth in Christianity.
