PROVISION (Part I)
Jesus Christ is fully GOD, thus, He is qualified to be man’s Savior
Bad news: Man is sinful and God is infinitely holy. Thus, the penalty man deserves
most is eternal separation from God.
Good news: God had graciously provided salvation for sinners. Right after the fall
of man, He made a promise to send a Savior (Genesis 3:15). A Savior who will defeat
the enemy and rescue man from the penalty, power, and presence of sin. Above all,
the Savior came to glorify God (John 12:27-28) by providing reconciliation between
man and God (1 Peter 3:18) so that man may glorify and love God for life and
eternity in heaven (Deuteronomy 30:6; John 17:24-26; Romans 5:11).
This very important subject, “The Provision,” will be discussed in three lessons. The
first two will present the person of the Savior, Jesus Christ. And the third one will
focus on the redemptive works of Christ.
In this material, the divinity (Godhood) of Jesus Christ will be highlighted with a
strong conviction that NOBODY CAN BE WRONG ON THE GODHOOD OF
JESUS CHRIST AND BE RIGHT BEFORE GOD. Let it be that knowing the
scriptural bases, personal testimonies, and importance of the divinity of Christ will
increase your love for God and love for fellow men.

d. He is Lord; Christ is really the LORD God as who He claims He is.
Christ is not only God; He knows that He is God and He proclaimed that He is
God.
III. PRACTICAL IMPORTANCE OF CHRIST’S DIVINITY
A. Importance in relation to Christ’s Role as Savior
1. It is important that the Savior who came on earth is God. Why? It is so
because God’s plan is to execute His judgment on the savior, in the place
of sinner. However, only someone who is infinite can fully bear and
survive the infinite wrath and penalty of an infinite God. Thus, the savior
must be God for only God is infinite.
2. Only someone who is truly and fully God could be the one m_______
between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
B. Importance in relation to Man’s Rejection of the Divinity of Christ
YOU CANNOT BE WRONG ABOUT THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST AND BE
RIGHT BEFORE GOD.
1. When an individual or a religion/church does not abide in the doctrine of
Christ, they do not have _______(2 John 9).
2. When an individual or a religion/church does not accept Christ for who
He claims He is, they do not have the love of God (John 5:22-23).
 It is very possible that a person is sincere, yet, sincerely wrong.
C. Importance in relation to Man’s Response to the Divinity of Christ
YOU CAN BE RIGHT ABOUT THE DIVINITY OF CHRIST AND STILL BE
WRONG BEFORE GOD IF YOUR RESPONSE TO HIS DIVINITY IS
WRONG.
1. Man should believe God and _______ (John 14:1).
Believing in Christ does not only mean to agree that Christ is God. De-
mons believe that (Matthew 8:28-29; James 2:19). True faith does not
only involve head knowledge about Christ’s deity, but also with heart’s
humble and glad surrender to the Lordship of Christ (Romans 10:9).
2. Man “should _____ the Son just as they _____the Father. He who does
not _____the Son does not_____ the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23).
3. What happens to man who does not believe in Christ (John 3:36)?
______________________________________________________________________________________________
4. What happens to man who does not love Christ (1 Corinthians 16:22)?

Gospel Reflection
1. Read each question aloud and pause as you answer only in your mind:
 How much do I value the deity of Christ?
 At least 70% of world’s population do not believe that Christ is God. If they die
unrepentant, they’ll all be accursed. Do I care for them?
Personal Response
1. Do you want to know Christ more? The first four books of the New Testament
(Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) contain the life and works of Jesus Christ. They are
the best textbooks about Christ. How’s your Bible reading?
2. Pray for two persons you know who need to hear the truths you have been learning
from the Gospel booklet and from this Bible study series.
Suggested Readings: The Gospel of John, at least 1 chapter a day
