Christ's deity is affirmed through scriptural testimonies and the miraculous works He performed, as evidenced by His resurrection and teachings.
The deity of Christ is a fundamental belief within the Reformed faith, substantiated by various Scriptures that affirm His divine nature. John 1:1 establishes Christ as both with God and being God, while Colossians 2:9 emphasizes that in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form. Additionally, His authority over creation and ability to perform miracles, like healing the sick and raising the dead, proclaim His divine power. Peter highlights witnessing Christ's miraculous acts, providing undeniable evidence of His deity. The resurrection, in particular, stands as the cornerstone of Christ's divine authority, as Romans 1:4 states that He was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead, further confirming His identity as God incarnate.
