JESUS Is GOD!!!

If JESUS is not GOD
(George Mylne, "Reposing in Jesus: Or, 
The True Secret of Grace and Strength" 1862)

It is of great importance that we should 
practically know JESUS as HE is--
that we should be able to repose 
on HIM in all the reality 
of HIS divine nature.

If JESUS is GOD--
then I must repose on HIM 
as GOD; and this, not merely 
for the correctness of my beliefs--
but for the strengthening of my faith, 
and for the encouragement of my 
soul in all the varieties of its 
experience and warfare.

If Jesus is not GOD--
then HE could not have 
loved me from everlasting--
and I then have no warrant 
that HE either can, or will, 
love me forever.

If JESUS is not GOD--
then HE has neither rendered 
an infinite obedience, nor made 
a perfect atonement for sins, 
on my behalf.

If JESUS is not GOD--
then my faith is vain, and 
I am yet in my sins.

If JESUS is not GOD--
then I cannot look to HIM 
for unfailing guidance, 
wisdom or power.

If JESUS is not GOD--
then HIS grace is not 
sufficient for me--
nor is HIS strength made 
perfect in my weakness.

But my repose is this, 
that JESUS is GOD--
that "in HIM dwells all the 
fullness of the Godhead bodily"--
and that "From the fullness 
of HIS grace, I have received 
one gracious blessing after another!"
