Believe that Jesus Christ is the Eternal God

It is quite apparent that most people who profess to know Jesus Christ do not attribute to Him the same degree of honor that is given to the Father. But Jesus in no uncertain terms said to the Jews, “Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.’

“For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:19-23).

Now, the way one demonstrates his/ her belief in Jesus Christ as the Eternal God is by observing the Eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the day that the Lord was circumcised and through His circumcision, Gentiles who were called Uncircumcision and at that time were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world were brought near to God through the circumcision of Jesus Christ.

It is also on that day that, God the Father highly exalted Jesus Christ and gave Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Here lies the root cause of the many problems that we face in the Christian community, which is the failure to ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His name and following the protocol. For this is what the Lord says; “You shall keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:30; 26:2).

Inasmuch as no problem can truly be resolved unless we deal with the root cause of it, ascribing to the Lord the glory due to His name in the prescribed manner is the solution to the plea that we all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among us, but that we be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

With brotherly love
