God the Creator, Jesus Christ, was and is God. He was and is Jehovah, the Eternal One. The scriptures show that Jesus Christ was and is God even before Abraham existed. Jesus declared, "Before Abraham was, I am." Jesus is the individual name of the Savior, and as thus spelled, has a Greek derivation. Its Hebrew equivalent was Yehoshua or Yeshua, or as we render it in English, Joshua. In the original, the name was well understood as meaning "Help of Jehovah" or "Savior."

Jesus is related to other titles, each possessing a definitive meaning. For example, Emmanuel signifies "God with us," Savior signifies "The Anointed One," Redeemer signifies "The Chosen One," and Only Begotten Son signifies "The One and Only."

Jehovah is the Anglicized rendering of the Hebrew Yahveh or Jahveh, signifying the Self-existent One or The Eternal. This name is generally rendered in our English version of the Old Testament as Adonai, or the Lord. Jesus identified himself as Jehovah, saying, "Arise and come forth unto me."

In conclusion, God the Creator, Jesus Christ, was and is God even before Abraham existed. He is Jehovah, the Eternal One, and He is Jesus the Christ.
