The document discusses the deity of Jesus Christ through several biblical passages. It explains that Matthew 28:18-20 reveals one God in three persons - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. John's gospel proves that Jesus claimed to be God by saying "I am" in several passages, and his miracles confirm this claim. Colossians 1:15-18 and Hebrews 1 show that Jesus created and sustains all things, and the angels worship him as God. Finally, John 3:16 says that Jesus' role was to die for humanity's sins. The document invites believers to submit to Jesus Christ for salvation.
