Christ is God; worthy of worship, adoration, and absolute obedience

The Foursquare Church affirms Hebrews 1:8 as explicit scriptural evidence of Christ's full divinity. The address 'Thy throne, O God' is understood as divine address to the Son, affirming that Christ is fully and eternally God. This verse is cited in Foursquare teaching and preaching as support for the church's high Christology.

Foursquare Pentecostalism emphasizes encountering Christ as living, powerful, and divine. Christ is not merely an historical figure or moral teacher but the ascended Lord who continues to work through the Holy Spirit in believers' lives. The divinity of Christ is essential to understanding Christ's power to heal, deliver, and transform lives.

The Foursquare conviction that Christ is God undergirds the church's practices of healing prayer, casting out demons, and receiving Holy Spirit empowerment. Christ's deity guarantees his authority over all powers and his ability to accomplish redemption and restoration.
