Philippians 2:5-11
a. Jesus existed before His incarnation
b. Jesus is equal with the Father
c. The whole world will confess that Jesus is Lord

He is called God
a. The eternal God (Romans 9:5)
b. The mighty God (Isaiah 9:6)
c. God with us (Matthew 1:23

d. The true God (1 John 5:20)
e. The great God (Titus 2:13)
f. The saving God (2 Peter 1:1)
