Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
1 John 4:15, ESV

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20, ESV

Jesus is our Savior!
