Jesus Christ is called God.
a. The title Lord (kurios) is given to Him consistently.
Evidence
was presented in the last chapter that this word was the name of Deity as
understood by people of the first century, and further, that this word is used
by the Septuagint to translate the name Jehovah. Paul refers to Jesus as Lord
nineteen times in Romans and twenty-one times in 1 Corinthians, to mention only
two of his epistles. Peter ascribes this title to Him eight times in his second
epistle. Whereas He was called Lord by all of the New Testament writers, Paul
states that in a coming day “every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). Paul also states that there is only one Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:5),
and since the Lord is called God (Matthew 4:7, 10; 11:25;
22:37; Acts 2:39; 2 Corinthians 6:18, etc.), the Lord Jesus
Christ must be God.
