Hi friend, I’m really glad you’re here today.
If you’re like many of us, you’ve heard the gospel so often that the words can start to feel familiar: grace, faith, Jesus saves. We nod, we say “amen,” and yet somewhere deep inside, there can still be a quiet voice asking, “But can Jesus really carry all of this… by Himself?”
In Part 1, we sat with a simple, powerful truth: Jesus plus nothing saves you. Not Jesus plus your willpower. Not Jesus plus good works or a spotless past. Not Jesus plus good behavior or spiritual routines. Just Jesus.
In this next part, we’re going to slow down and ask an important follow-up question: Who is this Jesus we’re trusting so completely?
We’ll look at the biblical evidence that Jesus is fully divine—God the Son, not just a wise teacher or gentle healer. We’ll walk through key passages that show His deity, and we’ll spend time with His breathtaking “I Am” statements, where He steps right into the divine Name of God Himself.
The Bible reveals that this Jesus is not just a wise teacher or compassionate prophet. He is God the Son, fully God and fully man, the only One qualified to bear our sin and satisfy God’s holy justice.
I hope that as you see more clearly who Jesus is, your heart will rest more securely in what He’s done. Because the more we see Him as God—eternal, holy, unchanging—the easier it becomes to trust that:
Jesus plus nothing really is enough.
Theology: The Importance of Our Beliefs About Jesus
The word theology can sound heavy—like something reserved for professors, pastors, or people with shelves full of commentaries. But at its core, theology simply means what we believe to be true about God.
What we believe about Jesus doesn’t sit on the edges of our faith—it sits right at the center. When Christians say Jesus is God, we’re not using poetic language. We’re confessing a core truth of the Trinity: one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And what we believe about Jesus is at the very center of that.
This means Jesus is not just a prophet, not just a wise teacher, and not just a powerful healer. He is fully divine, God the Son, sharing the same nature and glory as the Father and the Spirit. Because He is God in human flesh—God incarnate—He is uniquely able to save us, forgive us, and bring us into a real, personal relationship with God.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible gives us reasons to believe this. Again and again, Scripture shows Jesus doing what only God can do, receiving the honor only God should receive, and bearing the names and titles that belong to God alone.
In short, the claim that “Jesus is God” isn’t a side note in Christian theology. It’s a foundational truth that highlights His divine nature and His absolutely unique role in our salvation.
Jesus Christ Is Deity—He Is God
From the earliest days of the church, Christians have confessed this core truth: Jesus is fully God and fully man. This isn’t a side issue or a minor doctrinal detail. It’s central. It’s what the historic creeds—the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and others—were meant to protect and clarify.
When we speak of the deity of Christ, we’re saying:
Jesus is God incarnate—God in human flesh.
He is not merely a prophet, moral teacher, or spiritual guide.
The One called “the Son” in the New Testament is the second Person of the Trinity, sharing the same divine nature, essence, and attributes as the Father and the Spirit.
This belief shapes everything:
how we understand salvation,
how we understand redemption,
how we understand the very nature and heart of God.
If Jesus is not God, then He cannot fully reveal God, cannot fully bear our sin, and cannot be the all-sufficient Savior Scripture claims Him to be. If He is God, then “Jesus plus nothing” isn’t narrow—it’s simply true.
Biblical Evidence for the Deity of Jesus Christ
The Bible gives us a rich, layered picture of who Jesus is. Let’s walk through some of the key passages that affirm His deity.
Key New Testament Passages
John 1:1, 14 – The Word Who Is God
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”
John doesn’t leave us room to think of Jesus as just a wise teacher. The Word was God—and that Word became flesh. God stepped into human history.
John 10:30 – One with the Father
Jesus declares, “I and the Father are one.”
This wasn’t a poetic metaphor. His Jewish audience understood exactly what He was claiming—and they accused Him of blasphemy because, in their eyes, He was making Himself equal with God. That claim was serious enough to warrant stoning under their law.
John 20:28 – “My Lord and My God”
After the resurrection, doubting Thomas finally sees the risen Christ and blurts out:
“My Lord and my God!”
Jesus doesn’t correct him. He doesn’t say, “No, no, just call Me Teacher.” He receives this worshipful confession as true.
Colossians 2:9 – Fullness of Deity
“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”
Not a portion, not a reflection, not a hint—all the fullness of Deity in human form.
Philippians 2:6-7 – Equal with God, Yet Humble
“…who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.”
Jesus already existed in the form of God. He didn’t climb up to divinity; He stepped down from it in humility, taking on true humanity.
Hebrews 1:3 – Exact Representation
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being…”
Jesus doesn’t merely point toward God—He perfectly reveals Him. To see Him is to see what God is like.
Titus 2:11-14 – God and Savior
"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds."
This passage quietly, but powerfully, ties together who Jesus is and what He does. Paul doesn’t just call Him “Savior”—he calls Him “our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.” In one breath, Jesus is identified as both God and Savior, affirming His full deity and His central role in our salvation.
Old Testament Foreshadowing
Long before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, the Old Testament was already hinting through prophecy at a divine Messiah.
Isaiah 9:6 – The coming child is called “Mighty God” and “Everlasting Father.” Those are not titles you give to a mere human leader.
Micah 5:2 – The Messiah is described as One “whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting,” pointing to eternal existence, not just a human beginning.
Genesis 1:26 – “Let Us make man in Our image…”This plural language has long been understood by many Christians as an early hint of the Trinity—a shared divine life and counsel within God Himself.
Divine Attributes and Actions
Scripture also shows Jesus doing the very things only God can do.
Omnipotence & Creation: Jesus is credited with creating all things and sustaining them.
(Colossians 1:16–17, Hebrews 1:3)
Forgiveness of Sins: In Mark 2:5-7, Jesus forgives sins directly. His opponents are outraged because they know only God can truly forgive sins at the deepest level.
Miracles and Authority: He calms storms with a word (Mark 4:39), raises the dead (John 11:43–44), and knows the thoughts of people’s hearts (Matthew 9:4). These are not the acts of a mere teacher—they are the works of divine authority.
Worship: Jesus receives worship from His followers (Matthew 14:33), and Scripture speaks of every knee bowing and every tongue confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord (Philippians 2:10-11). Worship is reserved for God alone—yet Jesus receives it rightly.
Why His Deity Matters for Your Salvation
This isn’t just an academic exercise. If you belong to historic, biblical Christianity, the deity of Christ touches the very center of your faith and hope. Believing that Jesus is God shapes:
Atonement – Only a divine Savior could bear the full weight of human sin and satisfy holy justice.
Revelation – Jesus is not just a messenger; He is God’s perfect self-disclosure.
Worship – We don’t just admire Jesus; we adore Him, because He is worthy of the same honor as the Father.
Incarnation – He is fully God and fully man, able to truly represent God to us and us to God.
Trinity – The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are co-equal, co-eternal Persons, one in essence. Jesus stands alongside the Father and the Spirit, not beneath them.
Salvation – There is access to God only through Christ, because only Christ is both God and man, the perfect Mediator.
For centuries, the early church fathers, church councils, and creeds have stood on these truths—not inventing them but guarding what Scripture has already revealed. At the end of the day, it comes down to this: If Jesus is who the Bible says He is—God the Son, fully divine and fully human—then only Jesus, plus nothing else, saves you.
Not because Christianity wants to be narrow, but because reality is narrow at this point: There is only one Person who is both holy God and sin-bearing Savior. And His name is Jesus.
Jesus Is God—the Great “I AM”
When God wanted to reveal His personal Name to His people, He didn’t give a title, a label, or a job description. He gave a simple, breathtaking phrase:
“I AM.”
This Name echoes through Exodus, Isaiah, Revelation, and the Gospel of John. And at the center of it all stands Jesus.
The Burning Bush: God Reveals His Name
Picture Moses in the wilderness—tired, doing “ordinary” shepherd work—when something extraordinary catches his eye: A bush that’s on fire… but not burning up.
“The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. So, Moses said, ‘I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.’ When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses, Moses!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’ … ‘Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, “The God of your fathers has sent me to you.” Now they may say to me, “What is His name?” What shall I say to them?’ God said to Moses, ‘I AM WHO I AM’; and He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, “I AM has sent me to you.”’” (Exodus 3:2–3, 13–14)
“I AM WHO I AM.” God names Himself as the One who simply is—the self-existent, eternal, unchanging One. This phrase can sound small and almost easy to skip over, but in Scripture it carries enormous weight. And it becomes very important when we reach the New Testament.
“I AM” and Jesus in the Gospel of John
In Judaism, “I AM” is understood as a divine Name—a way God reveals Himself. So, when Jesus uses this “I am” language about Himself, He isn’t being poetic. He is making a claim to deity.
In Greek, the phrase is ego eimi— “I Am.” When it’s doubled or emphasized, it’s like saying: I AM God. I AM the One.
That’s why, whenever Jesus makes strong “I am” statements—especially when He takes on divine attributes—the religious leaders recognize what He’s doing. They accuse Him of blasphemy and try to stone Him, because in their minds, this man is claiming to be God.
They understood Him clearly. They just didn’t believe Him.
“I Am” in Isaiah: God Alone Forgives
Centuries before Jesus, God speaks through Isaiah and uses this same kind of language:
“I, I alone, am the One who wipes out your wrongdoings for My own sake, And I will not remember your sins” (Isaiah 43:25).
“I, I alone…” It’s the same strong emphasis: I Am God, I Am God. God is making it clear—He alone forgives sins. He alone carries the power and the authority to wipe away guilt. So, when Jesus steps onto the scene and forgives sins and uses “I Am” language, He is stepping right into this divine identity.
“I Am” in Revelation: The Eternal One
The book of Revelation is filled with “I Am” statements, especially in:
Revelation 1:8, 17–18
Revelation 2:8
Revelation 21:6
Revelation 22:13
One of the clearest:
“‘I Am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty’” (Revelation 1:8).
Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Jewish rabbis used to say that God is the Aleph and Tav—the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet.
The meaning is rich:
God is over everything.
There is nothing outside His sovereignty, His understanding, or His capacity.
There is no time beyond His reach.
He is not bound by the clock or the calendar like we are.
Why? Because He is God.
The key takeaway here is this: Christ is fully divine, and He dwells in the eternal present. He is not limited by time because He created time as part of this universe. He does not grow, age, or change. He is the same—yesterday, today, and forever.
“The Father and I Are One”
Jesus doesn’t just hint at His unity with the Father; He states it plainly.
“The Jews answered, ‘We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God’” (John 10:33).
They heard His words. They saw His claims. They understood that He was presenting Himself as one with the Father, sharing God’s identity and authority. They rejected the claim, but they didn’t misunderstand it.
What This Means for Us
When Jesus calls Himself “I Am,” He is not borrowing language carelessly. He is consciously stepping into the divine Name revealed at the burning bush, affirmed in the prophets, and echoed in Revelation.
The God who spoke from the burning bush…
The God who said, “I Am who I Am” …
The God who alone forgives sins, stands outside time, and holds all things together…
That God has come near in the person of Jesus Christ.
So, when we say Jesus is God—the Great “I Am”, we’re not using poetic language. We are reflecting the testimony of Scripture itself: The eternal God of Israel, the Alpha and Omega, the One who was and is and is to come, is fully present in Jesus. Jesus is God the Great "I Am"
The Seven "I Am" Statements of Jesus
In the Gospel of John, Jesus introduces Himself with a simple, loaded phrase: “I Am.”
Seven times, He connects that Name with everyday images—bread, light, a door, a shepherd, a resurrection, a way, a vine.
Each picture is warm and familiar, but what He’s actually doing is stunning: He is revealing His divine identity and inviting us into the life, security, and relationship that are found only in Him.
These aren’t just poetic lines from long ago. Each “I Am” shows us what Jesus came to be for the world—and what He wants to be for you, right now, as a born-again believer.
1) “I Am the Bread of Life” – John 6:35
“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty’” (John 6:35).
Right before Jesus says this, He has just done something unforgettable. A little boy’s lunch—five loaves and two fish—is placed in His hands. Jesus gives thanks, breaks it, and feeds over five thousand people until they are full… with baskets of leftovers.
The crowd is amazed. They know this feels like Moses and the manna all over again. They’re so impressed, they want to make Him king on the spot. But Jesus doesn’t want them to stop at full stomachs. He uses the miracle as a living sermon.
He’s essentially saying:
“You’re excited about the bread I gave you today—but that bread will still leave you hungry tomorrow. I’ve come to give you Myself. I am the true bread from heaven. Whoever comes to Me and believes in Me will never again be spiritually hungry or thirsty.”
We don’t have to chase spiritual “snacks” to feel full or acceptable. In Christ, God has given us the bread of life—the One who satisfies our deepest hunger.
2) “I Am the Light of the World” – John 8:12
“Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, ‘I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life’” (John 8:12).
Jesus speaks these words in the temple during a feast where giant lamps were lit to remember God’s presence with Israel in the wilderness. Against that backdrop of glowing light, He says, “I am the Light of the world.”
He isn’t just offering guidance; He is claiming to be the very presence of God in the midst of human darkness. To follow Him is to leave confusion, deception, and hopelessness and to walk in clarity, truth, and life. For us today, it means we don’t have to stumble around trying to figure everything out alone.
In Jesus, we have light for our path and light for our souls.
3) “I Am the Door of the Sheep” – John 10:7, 9
“So, Jesus said to them again, ‘Truly, truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep… I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.” (Jn 10:7, 9).
In the ancient world, shepherds would sometimes lie down across the opening of the sheepfold at night. Their own body became the “door.” Nothing came in or went out without going through them.
When Jesus says, “I am the door,” He is saying there is one true, safe way into God’s flock—through Him. He is both the entrance to salvation and the protector of those who belong to Him. Through Jesus, we find safety, rest, and the “pasture” our hearts have been craving.
No one slips into God’s kingdom by accident, and no one is shut out who comes through Christ.
4) “I Am the Good Shepherd” – John 10:11
“I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep” (John 10:11).
Jesus doesn’t just provide a safe door; He personally cares for the sheep. A hired hand runs away when danger comes, but a true shepherd stays. Jesus goes even further: the Good Shepherd dies for His sheep.
This is deeply personal language. He knows His own by name. He leads, protects, restores, and—at the cross—He lays down His life so that His flock might live. For us, this means we are not anonymous to Him.
We are known, loved, and guarded by the One who paid the ultimate price to make us His own.
5) “I Am the Resurrection and the Life” – John 11:25
“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies’” (John 11:25).
Jesus speaks these words at a graveside. His friend Lazarus has died. Martha is grieving, and she believes in a future resurrection “on the last day.” Jesus gently lifts her eyes higher and closer.
He doesn’t just say, “There will be a resurrection.” He says, “I am the resurrection and the life.”
Resurrection isn’t just an event on God’s calendar—it is bound up in the person of Jesus. He then proves it by calling Lazarus out of the tomb. For us, this means death is not the end of the story. If we belong to Christ, even when we die, we live.
Our hope isn’t a vague “afterlife,” but a living Person who has conquered the grave.
6) “I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” – John 14:6
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me’” (John 14:6).
In the upper room, just before the cross, the disciples are anxious and confused. Jesus talks about going away to the Father, and Thomas blurts out the question everyone is thinking: “Lord, we do not know where You are going; how do we know the way?”
Jesus answers with one of His clearest, most exclusive claims:
The way – He is not a map or a set of directions. He Himself is the way to the Father.
The truth – He is not one opinion among many. He is the full, faithful revelation of God.
The life – He is not a self-help program. He is the source and giver of eternal life.
“No one comes to the Father except through Me” sounds narrow—until you remember who is speaking. The Son of God, who will lay down His life for the world, is graciously opening the one true door into the Father’s heart.
7) “I Am the True Vine” – John 15:1, 5
“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser… I am the vine, you are the branches; the one who abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing” (John 15:1, 5).
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus gives His disciples a quiet, intimate picture of what life with Him will look like once He is no longer physically with them.
He is the true vine—the source of life. We are the branches, completely dependent on that connection. Our role is not to strain and perform but to abide—to remain, to stay connected, to draw our strength and nourishment from Him. As we do, fruit is the natural outcome.
“Apart from Me you can do nothing” isn’t a rebuke—it’s an invitation to rest. We don’t have to manufacture spiritual life. We simply stay rooted in Christ, and His life flows through us.
Together, these seven “I Am” statements form a beautiful portrait:
Bread for our hunger,
Light for our darkness,
A Door for our safety,
A Shepherd for our souls,
Resurrection for our death,
A Way, Truth, and Life for our confusion,
A Vine for our daily, ongoing life in God.
Each one whispers the same reality:
This is who Jesus is for you.
Seven More “I Am” Statements in John’s Gospel
John doesn’t just record Jesus’ “I Am” metaphors—bread, light, shepherd, vine. He also gives us seven more moments where Jesus uses that same “I Am” language in very personal, powerful situations.
In each of these, Jesus isn’t just making a doctrinal claim; He’s meeting real people in real fear, confusion, and unbelief. Over and over, the message is the same:
Believe in Me.
Do not be afraid.
Know that the Father sends me.
Know that I am God.
Let’s walk through them.
1) At the Well – John 4:26
“Jesus said to her, ‘I who speak to you am He’” (John 4:26).
At the well in Samaria, Jesus is talking with a woman whose life is complicated, broken, and thirsty in more ways than one. She speaks of the coming Messiah, the One who is supposed to explain everything.
Jesus doesn’t hint or speak in riddles. He looks her in the eye and says, in essence:
“The One you’ve been waiting for? The One your heart has been aching for? That’s Me. I’m the One.”
It’s one of the clearest self-revelations in the Gospels—and He gives it to a woman the religious world would have overlooked.
2) On the Water – John 6:19–20
“Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened. But He said to them, ‘It is I; do not be afraid’” (John 6:19-20).
The disciples are exhausted, rowing in the dark against a restless sea. Then they see a figure walking on the water and are terrified.
Jesus’ words can be translated, “I Am; do not be afraid.”
Right in the middle of their fear, He doesn’t just calm the waves; He reveals Himself. The answer to their anxiety is not a technique—it’s a Person. For us too, His presence and identity are the antidote to our deepest fears.
3) Believe or Die in Your Sins – John 8:24
“Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins” (John 8:24).
Here, Jesus speaks with sobering clarity. The issue isn’t just moral improvement; it’s spiritual life and death.
He’s saying:
If you refuse to believe who I truly am,
you remain in your sins,
and you will die in that condition.
This isn’t said to scare for the sake of fear, but to wake people up. There is one way out of sin and death: believing in Jesus as the “I Am”—the true, divine Savior.
4) Lifted Up Then Known – John 8:28
“So. Jesus said, ‘When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me’” (John 8:28).
Jesus looks ahead to the cross: “When you lift up the Son of Man…”
He is telling them that His crucifixion will become the great unveiling. In that moment of apparent defeat and humiliation, it will become clear that:
He is who He says He is,
He acts in perfect unity with the Father,
and the cross is not an accident—it is the Father’s plan of salvation.
The place of suffering becomes the place of revelation: “then you will know that I Am.”
5) Before Abraham Was, I Am – John 8:58
“Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.’ Therefore, they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple” (John 8:58).
This is one of the most direct claims Jesus ever makes. Abraham had lived centuries before. Yet Jesus doesn’t say, “Before Abraham was, I was.” He says, “Before Abraham was, I Am.”
The Jewish leaders understand immediately. He is taking the divine Name upon Himself, placing Himself outside of time, claiming an eternal existence that belongs only to God.
They pick up stones because, to them, this is blasphemy—unless, of course, it’s true.
6) So, You May Believe – John 13:19
“From now on, I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He. Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me” (John 13:19).
On the night before His arrest, Jesus tells His disciples what is coming—betrayal, suffering, the cross. He doesn’t want them to be shattered beyond repair when it happens.
He says, in effect:
“I’m telling you this ahead of time so that when it unfolds, you won’t just see tragedy. You’ll remember My words and believe that I Am.”
Even in the face of betrayal and chaos, He is still the sovereign, all-knowing Lord, tightly woven with the Father’s will.
7) In the Garden – John 18:5–6
“They answered Him, ‘Jesus the Nazarene.’ He *said to them, ‘I am He.’ And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. So, when He said to them, ‘I am He,’ they drew back and fell to the ground” (John 18:5-6).
In the garden, a detachment of soldiers comes to arrest Jesus. They are armed and ready. Jesus steps forward and asks who they are seeking.
When they say, “Jesus the Nazarene,” He answers, “I Am He,” and at those words they draw back and fall to the ground.
It’s a brief, powerful glimpse that even in His arrest, He is not a victim. He is the Lord of glory, willingly surrendering Himself to fulfill the Father’s plan. The soldiers think they are in control, but the One speaking the Name is the One truly in charge.
The Only Conclusion
Across these scenes—at a dusty well, in a stormy sea, in tense conversations with religious leaders, in an upper room, and in a dark garden—Jesus keeps revealing Himself with the same underlying claim: “I Am.”
The only honest conclusion is this: Jesus is God—the great “I AM.”
And this is why it’s safe—beautifully, eternally safe—to say:
Jesus plus nothing… really is enough.
Summary
In JESUS PLUS NOTHING - 2 (Jesus Is God), we paused to answer a vital question: Who is this Jesus we’re trusting with everything? We saw from Scripture that Jesus is not just a wise teacher or compassionate healer—He is God the Son, fully divine and fully human.
The Bible reveals His deity in many ways: through the “I Am” statements in John (the Bread of Life, Light of the World, Good Shepherd, Resurrection and Life, the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the True Vine) and through seven more moments where He uses the divine “I Am” to reveal Himself—to a broken woman at the well, frightened disciples on the sea, unbelieving religious leaders, and even the soldiers who came to arrest Him.
We also looked at the theological implications: within the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—Jesus shares the same nature, glory, and authority as the Father. As the great “I Am,” He is eternal, holy, and sovereign. Because He is truly God in the flesh, His cross is enough to fully deal with sin, His resurrection is enough to conquer death, and His promises are enough to secure us forever.
Part 2 brings us to this simple, unshakable conclusion: Jesus is God—and that’s why Jesus plus nothing really is enough.
