Fundamental Beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists

2. His divine powers and prerogatives
The works of God are ascribed to Jesus. He is
identified as both the Creator (John 1:3; Col. 1:16)
and the Sustainer or Upholder--"in Him all things
consist" (Col. 1:17; Heb. 1:3). He is able to raise
the dead with His voice (John 5:28, 29) and will
judge the world at the end of time (Matt. 25:31,
32). He forgave sin (Matt. 9:6; Mark 2:5-7).
3. His divine names
His names reveal His divine nature. Immanuel
means "God with us" (Matt. 1:23). Both believers
and demons addressed Him as Son of God (Mark
1:1; Matt. 8:29; cf. Mark 5:7). The sacred Old
Testament name of God, Jehovah, or Yahweh, is
applied to Jesus. Matthew used the words of Isaiah
40:3, "'Prepare the way of the Lord,'" to describe
the preparatory work for Christ's mission (Matt.
3:3). And John identified Jesus with the Lord of
hosts sitting on His throne (Isa. 6:1, 3; John 12:41).
