The Mystery of Godliness

• The book of Hebrews calls Jesus the ____. Hebrews 1:6—7 Down
• Wisdom said, “Before the ____ was I brought forth.” Proverbs 8:25—5 Down

Note:    The term “brought forth” in this verse literally means born, as many translations render it. (BBE, NIV, NJB, NLT, and most foreign translations.) Someone was born before the hills; before all creation.

• The Word is “the only begotten of the ____.” John 1:14— 1 Down
• John says “the Word was ____.” John 1:1—8 Down

Note: John applied the word “God” to Christ to describe His nature. As the firstborn Son of God, Jesus has by inheritance obtained the same nature as His Father; the nature of divinity. Even His Father called His Son God in Hebrews 1:8. Yet, the Father made it clear that He is the God of His Son. (Hebrews 1:9)

Note: There can only be one Most High. The Father is “above all” (Ephesians 4:6), and “greater than all.” (John 10:29)

• Jesus called His Father the only ____ God. John 17:3— 18 Across

Note: True “contrasts realities with their semblances” or resemblances. (Thayer’s Greek Lexicon, See also Hebrews 8:2) Christ is the image or resemblance of the true God. The Bible uses the term “one God” 7 times. (Malachi 2:10; Mark 12:32; Romans 3:30; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; 1 Timothy 2:5; James 2:19) Every time, it refers only to one Person, God the Father. God the Father is the one God of the Bible, the Most High, the Highest, the only true God. The word God is used to refer to others, including men and angels (John 10:34, 35), but never to signify the one God of the Bible. When the word God is used to describe divine Persons, it is only applied to two individuals, God, the Father, and the only other Being who shares His nature, His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
