We know Jesus is fully God and fully man because Scripture reveals Him as the incarnate Word, equal with God, yet taking on humanity (Philippians 2:6-7).
In Philippians 2:6-7, Paul emphasizes that Jesus, who was in the form of God, did not consider His equality with God something to be grasped. Instead, He took on the form of a servant, made in the likeness of men. This dual nature is crucial to understanding the Gospel; it confirms that Jesus is fully God, retaining His divine nature, while also being fully man, which enables Him to represent humanity perfectly in His redemptive work.
