[1] There is one God, in whom is the Divine Trinity, and that He is the Lord Jesus Christ

Is not God one and indivisible? is there not a Trinity? If God is one and indivisible, is He not one Person? if one Person, is not the Trinity in that Person? That He is the Lord Jesus Christ, I demonstrate by the following:

     • He was conceived of God the Father (Luke 1:34, 35);
     • as to His soul He is God, and hence, as He himself says, that the Father and He are one (John 10:30);
     • He is in the Father and the Father in Him (John 14:10, 11);
     • he that sees Him and knows Him, sees and knows the Father (John 14:7, 9);
     • no one sees and knows the Father save He who is in the bosom of the Father (John 1:18);
     • all things of the Father are His (John 3:35; 16:15);
     • He is the way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes to the Father save by Him (John 14:6)
thus by Him because He is in Him
     • according to Paul, that in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Col. 2:9).

Furthermore we are taught that He has power over all flesh (John 17:2). and that He has all power in heaven and on earth (Matt. 28:18).

From these passages it follows that He is the God of heaven and earth.
