How do we know Jesus Christ is God?

Jesus Christ's divinity is substantiated in Scripture, where it is declared that in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9). This suggests that Jesus is not merely a prophet or a teacher, but fully God, possessing divine attributes such as omniscience and omnipotence. Furthermore, His earthly actions, including His ability to forgive sins and perform miracles, attests to His divine authority (Mark 2:5-7).

Moreover, the burning bush itself is a theophany that signifies the presence of Christ in the Old Testament (Exodus 3:2). This teaches us about the pre-incarnate appearances of Christ who mediates between God and mankind. Thus, when we consider both His nature and His works, we come to a robust conclusion that Jesus Christ is indeed God, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.
