HEBREWS 13:8
God's Complete Unchanging Doctrine Is in Jesus

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. NIV

The divine nature of God never changes. How Christ acts, that is how God acts. What He did in New Testament times, He wants to do today. We often look at the Gospels and ask why we don't see today the great and frequent miracles recorded there. Theories abound. But do they hold up to this verse?

I recently heard a message by Bill Johnson where this theme was repeated again and again: "Jesus Christ is complete theology." He said that our theology should start with Jesus. We don't start with an unanswered prayer or a person who wasn't healed and work out a reason for that. We start with what Jesus said and what He did. That's the starting point of Christian theology.

Colossians 2:9 is a supporting scripture: For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form.
