How do we know Jesus was both God and man?

Answered in 6 sources

We know Jesus was both God and man because He is declared the Son of God and was born of a woman, fully embodying both natures (Hebrews 1:2, Galatians 4:4).

The Scriptures affirm that Jesus Christ is both fully divine and fully human. Hebrews 1:2 states that God spoke to us through His Son, who is the agent of creation and sustainer of all things. Simultaneously, His incarnation was through the Virgin Mary, making Him fully human while retaining His divine nature. This dual nature is essential for His role as our mediator—being human, He was able to represent us, and being divine, He could offer a perfect sacrifice for our sins. This unique nature of Christ is crucial for our understanding of salvation, as it affirms His capability to identify with humanity while also possessing the authority to forgive sins.
