The God of Jesus is the same as the Father of Jesus. Even before creation, Jesus, as the Son, adores and worships his God and Father (The Word was with God, John 1:1b). To have a God over you is to have someone you worship by always obeying, by always doing what is pleasing is to him.
I am first and foremost telling you to believe the God of Jesus, of what he (i.e. the God of Jesus, the only true God) tells everyone about Jesus:
The God of Jesus himself is the one who makes it known to everyone that Jesus is God. The God of Jesus makes it known that everyone should worship this God (i.e. Jesus).
According to the New Testament, the God of Jesus himself is the one who makes it known to everyone that Jesus is God. The God of Jesus makes it known that everyone should worship this God (i.e. Jesus).
- The New Testament shows us that the God of Jesus, the Father, acknowledges that Jesus is God (Hebrews 1:8). It was not Jesus but rather, it was God the Father himself who told to all angels they should worship Jesus, whom the Father declared to be God in verse 8. The God of Jesus, the Father, wanted all angels to worship this God (i.e. Jesus) in verse 8. Therefore, not worshiping Jesus as God is disobedience to God the Father.
- Then, the God of Jesus, who is God the Father, gives to Jesus the name above all names (LORD/Lord, not just ''lord'', Adonai, not adoni, based on context) by applying to him (to Jesus) Isaiah 45:23 (''every knee bends to me'' i.e. to Adonai) so that everyone --- in heaven, on earth and under the earth --- worship Jesus as Adonai to the Glory of the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11). This is how the God of Jesus ''highly exalted'' Jesus as Lord (Adonai). Therefore, not worshiping Jesus as Adonai is disobedience to God the Father.
Do you obey the Father?
The Bible is consistent in that what God the Father wants (all creatures to worship Jesus as Lord God) is obeyed by Jesus and by everyone else:
- John 20:28-29, the God of Thomas, Jesus Christ, is giving a blessing to those who will believe in the same even without seeing him.
- The Lord of Joel 2:32 is God and this Lord God was identified as Jesus in 1 Corinthians 1:2 (everyone in every place who call on the name of the Lord Jesus) and Romans 10:9-13 (because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved).
