How do we know that Jesus Christ is both God and man?

Answered in 3 sources

Scriptural evidence from John and the epistles establishes that Jesus embodies both divine and human natures distinctly.

The dual nature of Christ as both God and man is affirmed through various Scripture passages and the teachings of the early Church. John clearly indicates in his writings that Jesus is the eternal Word who was made flesh, highlighting His divine origin and physical manifestation. He was born of a virgin, thus taking on human nature while remaining fully God, which is essential for our redemption. The early heresies, such as Gnosticism, sought to deny this truth, claiming that Jesus was merely a spiritual being rather than a real person. However, John's personal witness and his testimony of having seen, heard, and touched Christ assure us of the reality of His human nature. This union of both natures is what enables Christ to mediate between God and humanity, making Him indispensable in God's plan of salvation.
