Psalm 97

Good Morning “Jesus Worshippers”.  Today we are in Psalm 97.  

Some religions claim to worship God, and say they believe The Bible, yet they deny the Deity of Jesus.  They don’t believe that Jesus was God.  They may acknowledge that He was a great moral teacher, or even a prophet, but that’s where it stops.  

Facts:
- Jesus Himself claimed to be God.  (John 8:58 & Exodus 3:14, Mark 2:5 John 14:9, John 10:30)
So… If He is not God, then He is a liar or a lunatic, but  certainly not a great moral teacher.

- Here the Psalmist charges us to worship ONLY God!  Even the Angels are to worship God!  
“…worship him, all you gods!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭97‬:‭7‬ ‭

Check out Hebrews 1:6 “And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, Let all God’s angels worship him.” Only God is to be worshipped (Deuteronomy 6:13)

- God recognizes Jesus as God

- Furthermore Jesus’ followers believed He was God (John 1:1-3, John 20:28, Romans 9:5) They worshipped Him (Matthew 28:16) and He accepted their worship.  No created being is to receive worship.

- Jesus is one with God in nature and is part of the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Mat 28:19, 1 Pet 1:2).

One cannot say they believe  Scripture and yet deny Jesus as God.  The evidence is overwhelming.  

Love you all!  Dig in!
