[Ali Imran]

Often, in prayers or benedictions, Jesus's name is used alongside God's, as in "Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ" (Gal 1:3; Eph 1:2). The name of Jesus appears with equal status to God's - for example, the command to go and baptize "in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" (Matt 28:19). This association is made at the end of 2Cor "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all" (13:14). If there's only one God, then these 3 must be equated.

You should not equate other people's words to Jesus's, but even so, St Paul always distinguishes Jesus and God, which simply means Jesus and God are separate.
