How do we know Jesus is the fullness of God?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus Christ is affirmed as the fullness of the Godhead bodily in Colossians 2:9, revealing God to humanity.

Colossians 2:9 states that in Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. This means that Jesus is not merely a reflection of God but contains the entirety of divine essence and attributes. The reference to seeing God in Christ is reinforced by John 1:18, which says that no one has seen God except the only begotten Son, who has made Him known. Jesus Himself affirmed this unity with the Father when He told Philip, 'He that hath seen me hath seen the Father' (John 14:9). Therefore, understanding Jesus as the fullness of God is foundational to the Christian faith, emphasizing that through Him, true knowledge of God is revealed and experienced.
