8. God the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit<br />
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with<br />
God, and the Word was God."<br />
John 1:14 "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling<br />
among us. We have seen his glory, the glory <strong>of</strong> the One and<br />
Only, who came from the Father, full <strong>of</strong> grace and truth."<br />
John 1:18 "No one has ever seen God, but God the One and<br />
Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known." The<br />
Bible says "God the One and Only" in NIV.<br />
John 5:21 "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them<br />
life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it."<br />
John 8:23–24: "But he continued,'You are from below; I am from<br />
above. You are <strong>of</strong> this world; I am not <strong>of</strong> this world. I told you that<br />
you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am [the<br />
one I claim to be], you will indeed die in your sins.'"<br />
John 8:58-59 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before<br />
Abraham was born, I am!" So they took up stones to throw at<br />
him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out <strong>of</strong> the temple.<br />
John 10:30-33: "I and the Father are one." The Jews took up<br />
stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, "I have shown<br />
you many good works from the Father; for which <strong>of</strong> these do you<br />
stone me?" The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work<br />
that we stone you but for blasphemy; because you, being a<br />
man, make yourself God."<br />
John 10:38: "But if I do it, even though you do not believe me,<br />
believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the<br />
Father is in me, and I in the Father."<br />
John 12:41: "Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and<br />
spoke about him." Indicates that Tetragrammaton in Isaiah 6:10<br />
refers to Jesus.<br />
John 20:28: "Thomas said to him, 'My Lord and my God!'"<br />
