How do we know that Christ's claims of being equal with God are true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's equality with God is affirmed through His own declarations and the acknowledgment of God the Father, as seen in John 5 and Hebrews 1.

The claims of Christ concerning His equality with God are substantiated by multiple scriptural references, notably in John 5:18, where the Jews sought to kill Him for calling God His Father, thus making Himself equal with God. This direct affirmation from Christ and His acceptance of worship further cements His divinity. Additionally, Hebrews 1:8 underscores this truth as God the Father addresses the Son, calling Him 'God.' The essence of the relationship within the Trinity reveals that Christ's words and actions are in perfect alignment with the will of the Father, emphasizing their shared authority and divinity. Understanding this equality is crucial for grasping the full scope of salvation and recognizing Jesus not just as a messenger but as God Himself.
