Jesus is acknowledged as God in the flesh through His own claims and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
The confession that Jesus is God in the flesh is central to Christian faith, supported by His own declarations, such as in John 10:30, 'I and my Father are one.' This claim leads to the necessity of recognizing His divinity; denying it would mean rejecting the truth of who He is. Furthermore, the fulfillment of prophecies in the Old Testament concerning the coming Messiah positions Jesus as the promised Redeemer and God incarnate. As the good shepherd, He fulfills the expectations assigned to God alone, demonstrating that only God can lay down His life for His sheep and provide eternal security.
