We know Jesus is Almighty because He is described in Revelation 1:8 as the Alpha and Omega, emphasizing His divine authority and eternal nature.
Jesus’ claim of being the Almighty is underscored in Revelation 1:8, where He identifies Himself as 'Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending.' This assertion not only denotes His eternal existence but also highlights His sovereignty over all creation and redemption. The implications of His Almighty nature extend to His role as the Ransom for all who believe, illustrating that only an Almighty Savior could deliver from sin and death.
His deity is confirmed through the trials He underwent during His earthly life, including bearing the weight of all sins and enduring the wrath of divine justice without being consumed. The Father entrusted Him wholly with the eternal purposes of salvation, proving that He is capable of sustaining and securing the eternal destiny of His people. Thus, believers can approach Him in every circumstance, assured of His unchanging power and grace.
