Title: Is Jesus the Father? What the Bible Really Says About God’s Identity
Have you ever felt dismissed or misunderstood because you believe that Jesus Christ is not just the Son of God but the Father Himself? You’re not alone. Many sincere Christians, rooted deeply in Scripture, believe that Jesus is the full and visible expression of the one true God. Still, this view is often met with confusion or outright opposition.
But what does the Bible actually say?
In this post, we’ll look at four powerful biblical truths that show how Jesus is not just a part of God, He is the fullness of God. This is not about tradition. It’s about Scripture.
1. Jesus Is Called the Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6)
Isaiah 9:6 is one of the most well-known Messianic prophecies:
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given… and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
This prophecy is clearly about Jesus. He is called “Everlasting Father” not metaphorically, but prophetically. This is a declaration of His identity. How can this child the Son be called “Father” unless He truly is?
2. Jesus and the Father Are One (John 10:30–33)
Jesus didn’t shy away from bold claims. In John 10:30, He said:
“I and the Father are one.”
The reaction? The Jews picked up stones to kill Him. They understood what He was saying: He was claiming to be God. He didn’t say, “I agree with the Father.” He said, “I AM one with the Father.” In Greek, the word used is hen, meaning unity or sameness not just harmony.
3. The Fullness of God Dwells in Christ (Colossians 2:9)
Paul makes it crystal clear in Colossians 2:9:
“For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”
Jesus isn’t a part of God or one-third of a trinity. He embodies all of God Father, Word, and Spirit in a tangible, human form. When you see Jesus, you’re seeing the complete revelation of God.
4. Jesus Reveals the Father (John 14:8–11)
Philip asked, “Show us the Father.” Jesus answered:
“Have I been with you so long, and you still don’t know Me? Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.”
That’s not metaphor. That’s identity. Jesus didn’t say He represents the Father. He said seeing Him is seeing the Father.
Bonus: Baptism in the Name of Jesus (Acts 2:38)
The early church baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Why? Because they knew who He was. Peter said:
“Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins…”
They understood that Jesus’ name holds the authority and identity of the Father, Son, and Spirit.
Final Thoughts: Is Jesus the Father?
Scripture says yes. He is the Everlasting Father. He is one with the Father. The fullness of God dwells in Him. He is not merely a messenger He is the message. Not just a representative but God Himself, revealed in the flesh.
