Jesus' divinity is affirmed in Scripture through His I Am statements and the fulfillment of prophecies about Him.
The divinity of Jesus Christ is confirmed through His teachings and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. Specifically, His I Am statements mirror God's self-identification in Exodus, asserting His eternal nature. In John 8:58, Jesus says, 'Before Abraham was, I am,' highlighting His existence before time, which led to a strong reaction from His contemporaries who understood this as a claim to divinity. Revelation presents Jesus as the eternal Word who, along with the Father and the Holy Spirit, forms the one true God, firmly rooting His divine identity in both the Old and New Testaments.
