 This is John MacArthur inviting you to join me for Portraits of Grace. When God set Israel free and led them to the Promised Land, He made it clear He was the only God by saying, You shall have no other gods before Me. Jesus also claimed to be God, yet affirmed the Old Testament statement that there is only one God when He quoted Deuteronomy 6-4 saying, The Lord our God is one Lord. But He also said, I and the Father are one.
