Jesus is Jehovah

I wasn't looking for this chart, but when I came across it, I thought I would use it in writing a post about how Jehovah of the First Testament is Jesus of the New Testament. I have been involved in an ongoing email discussion with a friend regarding the deity of Jesus and this post seems fitting as I have recently been seeking the scriptures decidedly regarding this topic. While I have never doubted the deity of Jesus, the email exchange with my friend has added fuel to my understanding that salvation rests fully upon the divinity of Jesus, and without the deity of Christ, salvation would not be possible.

Going around the wheel, starting at the 1PM and 7PM positions, with a few additional verses added. All scriptures are from the ESV.

God is Lord of lords and God of gods.

To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

Addendum (1/16/2018): I came across this in a different study and thought it appropriate to stick here, as this post is discussing the deity of Jesus. In discussing the word "Godhead" from the King James, from the book, Putting Jesus in His Place: The Case for the Deity of Christ, by Robert M. Bowman Jr. and J. Ed Komoszewski, on page 76 we find:

Paul wrote, "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9). The word translated 'deity' (theotēs - Godhead in the King James) means “the nature or state of being God.” The King James Version translates the word as “Godhead,” which was accurate in the English of Shakespeare’s day but is somewhat misleading today. Many people use the term “the Godhead” to refer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit considered collectively. The suffix –head in English, however, usually meant status, state, or nature, and in modern English has been largely displaced by –hood (e.g., bachelorhood is the status or state of being a bachelor; womanhood is the status, state, or nature of being a woman). Thus, the equivalent word for “Godhead” today would be Godhood—and this word is about as exact a translation of theotēs as one could want.

Just in case someone might misconstrue "deity" here as meaning the nature or state of being a god - as though Christ were simply one of a group of deities or gods - Paul states that "the fullness of deity" dwells in Christ. The use of the word "fullness" makes it explicit that nothing of deity is missing in Christ."
