Jesus Christ is Mighty God
imple and Clear: “But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away” (2 Corinthians 3). Let’s take baby steps before we dig in too deep and try to understand the connections first, which show the omnipresence of God, an important attribute that Jesus Christ also possesses. If we live in Christ, whether it's on a personal level (as an individual), in marriage or together as a Church - God is there, take a look.
A Person
Your own body (flesh) is subject to your spirit. It is the spirit that should have authority over the body. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (Galatians 5:24). For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God (Romans 8:14).
A Marriage
Marriage is God’s design and creation; it has structure and order: the wife should submit to the husband. The husband is the head of the family. The head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God (1 Corinthians 11:3).
The Church
It is Christ who is the head of the body, the church (John 8:31). For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:9)“For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matt. 18:19–20.).

The Old Testament Confirms
A prophecy: The word of the LORD concerning Israel. The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person, declares:
They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son (Zechariah 12:10).
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6).
The New Testament Confirms
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1-14).
Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. (John 14: 9-13)
Who, being in very nature a God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself (Phil 2: 5-8).
And, as another Scripture says: “They will look on the One they have pierced.” (John 19:37).
The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. (1 Cor 15:47).
Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”) (Matt 1:23).
Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory (1 Tim 3:16).
