Jehovah's Witnesses Refuted

Continuing the biblical case for Christ's deity, Pastor Martin brings four more witnesses (Philippians 2:6, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 1:8, and 1 John 5:20) in which Jesus Christ is explicitly called God in contexts that admit no lesser meaning. He summarizes the sevenfold witness in Colossians 2:9 — in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily — and applies the doctrine: the one who invites sinners is God able to fulfill every promise and every threat, He demands supreme religious affection, and He is the object of faith, worship, and a jealous guarding of the heart.

Beginning the fourth group of witnesses to Christ's deity — names and titles of deity given to Him — Pastor Martin takes up the title Son of God. After establishing that names in biblical thought are revelatory of character, he traces the frequency of this title from Christ's conception through His ministry and apostolic testimony, then defines its meaning from John 5 and John 10, where Jesus' claim that God is His own Father and that He and the Father are one asserts an interpenetration of divine essence — He is God the Son. He applies the doctrine as essential for life, overcoming the world, and right confession, climaxing with Romans 8:32, 'He that spared not his own Son.'
