How do we know that Jesus is God according to the Bible?

Answered in 13 sources

The Bible affirms Jesus' divinity through His incarnation, miracles, and the testimony of witnesses, including angels and the apostolic preaching.

The divinity of Jesus Christ is supported by numerous scriptural declarations and events that affirm His divine nature. In John 1:14, it states that 'the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,' emphasizing that Jesus is both fully God and fully human. The miraculous works Christ performed, such as raising the dead and healing the sick, are evidence of His divine authority and power.

Moreover, in 1 Timothy 3:16, Paul notes that He was 'seen of angels,' indicating the acknowledgment of His divine status by celestial beings. The early apostles, who were eye witnesses of Christ’s ministry, preached His deity boldly, often attributing to Him titles and honors reserved for God. This testimony comes not only from the historical records in the New Testament but also from the transformation in believers' hearts as they come to recognize and confess Jesus as Lord, aligning with 1 John 4:2, which says that 'every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God.' Hence, the combined testimonies of scripture, miracles, and the church's worship establish the truth of Jesus' divinity.
