How do we know Jesus is the Son of God?

Answered in 168 sources

We know Jesus is the Son of God through the signs He performed and the prophecies He fulfilled, confirmed by the testimony of those who witnessed His life and resurrection.

The identity of Jesus as the Son of God is confirmed through both His actions and the testimony of Scripture. In John 20:30-31, the Apostle John explains that the signs recorded in his Gospel were intentionally chosen to demonstrate that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, with the objective that by believing, we might have life in His name. Furthermore, the signs Jesus performed, such as turning water into wine and the subsequent acknowledgment of His glory by His disciples, serve to reinforce His divine identity. Importantly, the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, His virgin birth, and the resurrection serve as the ultimate attestation of His status as the Son of God, affirming that He is indeed God in human flesh.
