📖 ONE GOD RIGHTLY DIVIDED — THE UNITY AND FULLNESS REVEALED IN CHRIST

JESUS IS THE “I AM” OF THE OLD TESTAMENT

The foundation of this belief comes from God’s self-revelation in the Old Testament:

📖 Exodus 3:14
“And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM… Thus shalt thou say… I AM hath sent me unto you.”
“I AM” is the eternal, self-existent name of God.
It reveals one singular divine identity, not multiple persons.

JESUS CLAIMED TO BE THAT SAME “I AM”
📖 John 8:58
“Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.”
Jesus did not say “I was”—He said “I AM”, directly echoing Exodus 3:14.
The Jews understood this as a claim to deity and tried to stone Him (John 8:59).

THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT BECAME MAN
📖 Isaiah 43:10-11
“…Before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.”
📖 Isaiah 9:6
“…His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father…”
The Old Testament clearly teaches one God and one Savior.
Yet Jesus is called the Mighty God and Everlasting Father.

JESUS IS THAT SAVIOR
📖 Titus 2:13
“…the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ”
📖 John 14:9
“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father…”
Jesus is not a separate person from God—He is the visible manifestation of the invisible God.

GOD WAS MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH
📖 1 Timothy 3:16
“God was manifest in the flesh…”
Not “God the Son,” but God Himself came in human form.

SUMMARY
The “I AM” of the Old Testament = Jesus in the New Testament
There is one God, not three persons
Jesus is God revealed in flesh, not a second divine person
📖 Colossians 2:9
“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

Simple Conclusion
Jesus is not a “second person.”
He is the one eternal God (“I AM”) who came in flesh to save humanity.
