284. Since the Father is in the Lord, and the Lord and the Father are one; and since the Lord must be believed in, and he who believes in Him has eternal life; it is plain that the LORD is God. That the Lord is God, the Word also teaches; as in John (i. 1, 3, 14), "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God; and God was the Word. All things were made through the same; and without the same there was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father." And in Isaiah (ix. 6), "Unto its a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called GOD, Hero, FATHER OF ETERNITY, Prince of Peace." Again, "Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear, and His name shall be called God with us" (Isa. vii. 14; Matt. i. 23). And in Jeremiah (xxiii. 5, 6; xxxiii. 15, 16), "Behold, the days come, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper; and this is His name whereby they shall call Him JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
