How do we know that Jesus is God according to scripture?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture affirms Jesus' divinity through His works, teachings, and His claim of unity with the Father.
The divinity of Jesus is clearly articulated in the Gospel narratives and other New Testament writings. In John 5:17-18, when Jesus refers to God as His Father, claiming equality with God by saying, 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work,' the Jewish leaders sought to kill Him for what they perceived as blasphemy. Furthermore, His miraculous works—healing the sick, raising the dead, and exercising authority over nature—serve as profound evidence of His divine nature. John 1:14 emphasizes that the Word (Jesus) was God and became flesh. Therefore, the entirety of His earthly ministry confirms that Jesus is indeed God incarnate.
