How do we know Jesus is God according to Scripture?

The identity of Jesus as God is affirmed clearly in scripture. In John 5:18, His declaration of God as His Father leads the Jews to seek to kill Him, acknowledging His claim to equality with God. This concept is further reinforced by His works; Jesus states that He does nothing apart from the Father, illustrating a profound unity in their nature and purpose. Moreover, other passages such as John 10:30 ('I and my Father are one') and Hebrews 1:6 (that all angels should worship Him) underscore His divine status, supporting the assertion that if Jesus were not God, such worship would be idolatrous. Therefore, His identity as both Son of God and God is central to Christian faith.
