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

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible affirms the divinity of Jesus in John 1:1, stating that 'the Word was God,' signifying that Jesus is both fully God and fully man.

The divinity of Jesus Christ is firmly established in Scripture, particularly in John 1:1, which states, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' This verse encapsulates the nature of Christ, indicating that He is not merely a messenger of God but is inherently God Himself. Furthermore, Colossians 2:9 declares, 'For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily,' emphasizing that in Jesus, all the attributes and essence of God are fully present. Hence, understanding Jesus as God is foundational to the Christian faith; it signifies that our Savior is not an intermediary but the actual embodiment of God’s presence and authority.
