TEN Bible Lessons - Lesson 2

 Jesus Says the Father is the Only One Who is True God, While Jesus is Someone Else

We are instructed by Christ to believe in two distinct entities, one who is God, and the other who is someone else.  God, for Jesus and his Apostles, is always "the Father."

John 17:1-3

Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father… This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true Godand Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

John 14:1

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; Believe also in me.”

John 8:17-18

I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other."

1 Corinthians 8:6

"Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we exist through Him."

1 Timothy 2:5

"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."

Jesus Has a God

Jesus cannot be the one and only God himself and also truly have a God the way the disciples do.

John 20:17

Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'

Revelation 3:2


Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

Revelation 3:12


Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.

Mark 15:34


And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

Ephesians 1:3


Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.

Ephesians 1:17


I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Romans 15:6


…so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1 Peter 1:3


Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

2 Corinthians 1:3

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort…

What is Missing in the Popular Gospel?

Jesus came with a Message. He came to save with his Message as well as by his sacrificial death for the sins of all mankind. ...

The public in general has been lulled into thinking that salvation in the New Testament consists in believing that Jesus died and rose again — believing, in other words, facts about what happened to Jesus, to the practical exclusion of what Jesus preached and taught

A very popular evangelist, in a tract circulated in thousands of copies in various languages, tells us that “Jesus came to do three days work — to die, be buried and rise from death.” This we believe to be a stunningly misleading statement. 

Jesus made his own intentions crystal clear in a kind of “John 3:16” encapsulation of the reason for his whole mission. The neglect of Jesus’ words when he unpacks his own mind and purpose is nothing less than a theological disaster, requiring urgent attention and repair. Jesus announced in Luke 4:43 (a verse, surely, deserving prominence in any discussion of Christianity) that he must proclaim the Gospel about the Kingdom of God: That is the reason why God sent me.” 

“As God sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21) were the words of the Great Commission as John recorded it. Quite simply and obviously, then, Christians are those who, like Jesus, will be found proclaiming the Gospel about the Kingdom of God: That is the reason why they are sent. While confusion reigns about what the Kingdom of God is, a paralysis has afflicted the Great Commission. We want to do our part to rectify this very unfortunate situation. 

While uncertainty reigns as to what the Gospel is, how can Jesus’ gospel summons to repentance and belief in the Gospel succeed (Mark 1;14, 15)? 

For too long Christians have uncritically accepted the status quo. And that cherished status quo dictates, in the form of an all-pervading dogma, that the death and resurrection of Jesus comprise the whole Gospel. 

If that is so, we argue, what do we make of those scores of chapters in Matthew, Mark and Luke which tell us with brilliant clarity that Jesus was preaching the Gospel, but which contain not a word (at that stage) about his death and resurrection? That is the question Christians of all levels of understanding are invited to face — and face squarely and honestly. 

Let us make the point clear: Matthew, Mark and Luke, three independent and corroborating accounts of Jesus and his ministry, persist in telling us that Jesus came announcing the saving Gospel. 

But that Gospel for a large part of Jesus’ ministry contained no information whatsoever about the upcoming death and resurrection of Jesus. You see the point: Jesus preached the Gospel and, what’s more, sent his chosen disciples out to preach the Gospel. Yet that Gospel contained no word about death and resurrection. 

This must prove to the honest investigator, the noble Berean so highly commended in Acts 17:11, that the Gospel is not confined to facts about death and resurrection. Now do not misunderstand us. We are not suggesting that the death and resurrection of Jesus are minor components in the Gospel. Not at all. Without the death and resurrection of Jesus there is no Gospel. But what of that part of the Gospel which did not concern the death and resurrection of Jesus? 

For over forty chapters in Matthew, Mark and Luke Jesus and his circle preached and proclaimed the Gospel. Late in the ministry of Jesus, not long before his crucifixion, Jesus made a repeated declaration that his death and resurrection was impending. We find this dramatic statement in Luke 18:31ff (NASV): “Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, ‘Behold, we are going to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. For he will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon. And after they have scourged him, they will kill him, and the third day he will rise again.’” 

Now observe the reaction of the inner circle of friends as co-workers for the Gospel: “The disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.” 

There it is. Those Gospel preachers, who had worked side by side with Jesus in the preaching of the Gospel, did not yet understand even the basics of the death and resurrection of the Savior. 

The Gospel they had preached with Jesus had been the Gospel about the Kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God is the bedrock foundation of the Gospel, to which were added later, as they happened, the crucial facts about Jesus’ death for sins and his resurrection to immortality. 

Logically, then, the Gospel has as its major, foundational component the Kingdom of God, and secondly its companion facts about the death and resurrection of Jesus. These latter facts make possible our entrance into the Kingdom of God. But without the Kingdom of God basis in the Gospel, the death and resurrection float in the air. Jesus did not come “to do three days work.” (Was he on vacation for those 3 ½ years of arduous preaching of the Gospel?) 

He came to preach the saving Gospel of the Kingdom of God, the heart of the New Covenant, and then he graciously died, shedding his blood to ratify that Kingdom covenant (Luke 22:28-30), which entails the gift to you of life forever in the coming Kingdom of God. 

With renewed enthusiasm we call on the Christian community to beseech the God of Heaven to “Let your Kingdom come,” and to follow Jesus’ terminology by speaking always of the “Gospel about the Kingdom.” 

At the same time laborers for the Kingdom of God (Col. 4:11) are needed everywhere. We will all do well if we adopt the slogan of Jesus himself: “I must preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God…That is the whole reason for my mission” (Luke 4:43). 

So it should be the mission of everyone who loves Jesus and his Gospel.

What does the Bible clear teach ...

About God?

  1. God is only one (Deut 6:4, Mark 12:29, Gal 3:30, Isa 44:24).
  2. The true one God is "the Father" (John 17:31 Cor 8:6, Mal 2:10).
  3. He is both "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Pet 1:3), and the "one God and Father of us all" (Eph 4:6).

About Jesus?

  1. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God (Matt 16:16, John 11:27, John 20:31).
  2. He is the long-awaited king of Israel who will rule God’s coming Kingdom (John 1:49, Dan 7:13-14).
  3. He was foreknown in the mind, plan, wisdom and word of God before time began (John 1:1-3, Acts 2:23, 1 Pet 1:20, Rev 13:8).
  4. He was begotten/born of a virgin (Matt 1:18, Matt 1:25, Gal 4:4) when God's spirit miraculously created him in her womb (Luke 1:35).
  5. He is the seed of Abraham (Gal 3:16), descended from the royal line of David (Matt 1:1), and from the tribe of Judah (Heb 7:14).
  6. He is a human being, the Second Adam, and like his brothers in every way (John 8:40, 1 Cor 15:45, Heb 2:17).
  7. He was fully obedient to God by living a sinless life, therefore he became an acceptable sacrifice, as of an unblemished lamb (1 Pet 1:19), in order to offer redemption to all of those who put their faith in him and his Father, God (John 3:16, John 17:3).
  8. God worked miracles through him (Acts 2:22, John 14:10, John 5:19, 30).
  9. He was crucified for our sins, and made the resurrection of the dead and adoption as God's children available to all (1 Cor 15:3, 21, 1 Pet 2:24, Is 53:5, Luke 20:36).
  10. Jesus was completely dead for three days after being crucified by the Romans, but God raised him from the dead (Acts 2:24, Acts 5:30, Rom 6:9).
  11. Because of his obedience through suffering, God exalted him and made him Lord of everything, second only to God (Acts 2:36, 1 Cor 15:27-28, Phil 2:8b-11).
  12. Jesus is sitting at the right hand of God, mediating on our behalf, until the time for the establishment of the Kingdom arrives (Heb 10:12-13, 1 Tim 2:5, Acts 3:21).

About the holy spirit?

  1. The holy spirit is “the spirit of your Father” (Matt 10:20); God’s personal power and influence at work in the world (1 John 4:2).
  2. The holy spirit is “the spirit of truth” (John 15:26) which enables us to know and preach the truth and to resist temptation (1 Cor 3:16, Acts 1:8, Heb 2:18).
  3. After Christ’s ascension, it is now also the personal influence of the glorified Lord Jesus, our one “advocate with the Father” (1 Jn 2:1), who baptizes us with God’s power (1 Cor 15:45, John 14:18, Matt 3:11).
  4. It is the holy [pledge] which has been given to believers as a deposit of the glory to come in the Kingdom of God (Eph 1:13-14, 2 Cor 1:22).

About the Gospel?

  1. The Gospel, as preached by Jesus, is first and foremost about the coming Kingdom of God on the earth (Mark 1:15), a renewal of all things instituted by a literal government which will bring peace and the knowledge of God to the whole world
    (
    Matt 19:28, Is 2:2-3).
  2. The Gospel was first preached to Abraham, a promise of progeny, prosperity, and the inheritance of the earth (Gal 3:8, Rom 4:13).  Through faith in Jesus Christ and the message about the Kingdom of God, anyone can join Abraham and inherit the promise (Gal 3:29, Matt 8:11, Eph 3:6).
  3. Fundamental to the message of the Gospel about the Kingdom is the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 8:12), God’s chosen king who will rule for a thousand years until all of God’s enemies are subjected (1 Cor 15:25).
  4. The ultimate destiny of the believer is resurrection into an earthly Kingdom at the time of Christ's return, "on the last day" (John 6:541 Thes 4:16).  The believer's rewards for obedience to Christ are everlasting life (John 11:25Luke 14:14), bodily transformation like Christ (1 John 3:2, Phil 3:21), and co-rulership of the world-government with Jesus (Matt 19:28, Luke 19:17, Rom 8:17, Rev 5:10).
  5. At the end of the thousand years, death will be abolished and God himself will dwell with his people in an everlasting kingdom, a restoration of Eden as promised by God through the prophets (1 Cor 15:26-28, Job 19:25, Acts 3:21).

About Humanity?

  1. Every human being is a living soul (Gen 2:7), rather than having an indwelling soul like Plato taught. That at death, the person/soul dies and is no more until the resurrection of the dead when God brings the believer back to life the same way he did with the Lord Jesus.
  2. Only God possesses immortality (1 Tim 6:16).  Humans are born mortal creatures but God grants immortality to those he chooses and will do so at the resurrection of the dead on the last day when Christ returns (1 Thes 4:16).
  3. Only Jesus has been raised from the dead unto eternal life (Col 1:18, Rev 1:5). The rest of humanity that has died is awaiting the last day of this age [whereby those who died in Christ will] be given a new and renewed life at the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.
  4. Life in the age to come (Eternal Life) will be granted to those who trust in and obey God and his son Jesus (John 17:3, Deut 18:19, Heb 5:9).

How Was Jesus Able to Remain Sinless? By Dr. Dustin Smith

 How did Christ remain sinless during his earthly ministry? Is that an accomplishment that only God could achieve? What do the New Testament authors have to say about Jesus' sinlessness? Focusing on his unwavering obedience and faithfulness to his God and Father.




Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess

 Every knee shall before who?

Answer: the One God!

Who is the One God?

There is One God, the Father Alone - Pastor Mark A. Jones

What is true Messianic teaching about God? What was original Christian theology? The Father alone is the True God. He alone is the God of gods. Scriptures considered include - Isaiah 45.22-23, Mark 12.28-30, Mark 12.32,34, 1 Corinthians 8.4-6, 1 Timothy 2.3-6



What will every tongue confess to the glory of the One God?

Answer: That Jesus Christ is Lord!

What does that mean?

The Lord Jesus is Not the Lord God - J. Dan Gill

That Jesus is Lord does not mean that he is God. Scriptures considered include Psalm 110.1, Philippians 2.9-11, Romans 10.9, Acts 2.34-36, Matthew 7.21-22.
