I believe in the deity of Jesus Christ

Many people today believe in Jesus but they believe in only a man called Jesus. They do not believe that Jesus is very God in the flesh. We must not only believe that Jesus is God, after all Satan himself believes that, but we must allow Christ to be supreme in all areas of our lives and the life of our church. Paul writes to the Colossians, “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the first born from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.” Colossians 1:15-20

In this passage the deity of Christ is clearly stated to us. His deity is describe as the image of the invisible God, the first born and later it states that in Christ dwells all the fullness of God.

Jesus is supreme over all things: He is supreme over creation, He is supreme over governments, He is supreme over the church, and He is supreme over our souls.
