Jesus is the true and living God, fully divine and deserving of worship, as revealed throughout Scripture.
The worthiness of Jesus to receive worship is affirmed in numerous Scripture passages. He is recognized as the 'King of the Jews' in Matthew 2:2, where the wise men came to worship Him without reservation. Additionally, John 1:14 proclaims that 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,' revealing His divine nature and authority as God incarnate. The early church and the apostles acknowledged Jesus' divinity, evidenced in acts of worship towards Him following His resurrection (Matthew 28:9). The Apostle Paul also emphasizes Jesus' equality with God in Philippians 2:6, further establishing that acknowledging and worshiping Him aligns with recognizing His true divinity.
