Hebrews 1:8 — "Your Throne, O God"

Brethren in Christ affirm Hebrews 1:8 as affirming Christ's full deity. The author cites Psalm 45:6 ('Your throne, O God, endures forever') as applying to Christ, the Son. This establishes Christ as worthy of worship and possessing attributes of divinity—eternality, throne, and dominion. For BIC, this passage reinforces that the incarnate Christ is fully divine and should be honored accordingly.

The passage is interpreted as supporting Anabaptist Christocentrism: Christ is the head and rule-giver of the church. His authority comes from his divine nature and position at God's right hand. This theological foundation grounds BIC ecclesiology and the call to discipleship under Christ's kingdom authority.
