Four Life-Changing Applications

1. Because Jesus Is God… He Is Worthy of True Worship

Worship is not convenience—it's costly.

Jesus is not just a moral teacher or prophet; He is El Shaddai—God Almighty, worthy of reverence and sacrifice.

2. Because Jesus Is God… His Death Is the Only Way of Salvation

The cross only makes sense if Jesus is God.

If Jesus is not God, Calvary is meaningless.

Because He is God, His death alone satisfies divine justice for the sins of the world.

3. Because Jesus Is God… He Has Full Authority Over My Life

He’s not a constitutional monarch to be consulted—He is King to be obeyed.

We don’t include Him in our plans; we surrender to His plan.

4. Because Jesus Is God… He Gives Me Everything I Need

He gives the power (2 Peter 1:3) and the presence (Matthew 28:20) to do anything He asks.

This is exousia power: not just dynamite strength (dunamis), but legitimate authority.

You’re not alone—God is in you.
