The opening passage of the New Testament declares that Jesus is Immanuel (God with us), referencing the messianic prediction of Isaiah 7:14. Yahweh says in Zechariah 12:10, "They will look on Me when they have pierced." The NT writers make references to this passage twice in John 19:37 Rev 1:7, with predictions of His crucifixion. Paul quotes Isaiah's passage, "For I am God, and there is no other.. To Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance" (Isa 45:22-23) and applies to his Lord, "at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:10-11). Paul says all created beings will call Jesus both Messiah (Christ) and Yahweh (Lord).

The apostles called Jesus Christ the Savior of the world (John 4:42; Isa 43:3), the Forgiver of sins (Acts 5:31; Col 3:13; Jer 31:34; Ps 130:4). Some things only God can do, but these very things are attributed to Christ by His disciples: "Jesus ... is to judge the living and the dead" (2 Tim 4:1). Jesus is able to raise the dead (John 11) and forgive sins (Acts 13:38). He's the primary agent in creating the universe (John 1:3; Col 1:16) and in sustaining its existence (v 17).
