How do we know that Jesus is God and not just a created being like the angels?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms that Jesus is God through His specific titles, His works, and divine worship that is due only to Him.
Scripture clearly establishes the divinity of Jesus, particularly in Hebrews 1, where it is shown that God the Father has never called any angel 'my Son' as He has with Christ (Hebrews 1:5). This distinction underscores the relationship and uniqueness of Jesus as the Son of God. Additionally, in Scripture, angels are shown to refuse worship, while Jesus accepts it, emphasizing His divine nature (Hebrews 1:6). The fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, His miracles, and His resurrection further authenticate His identity as God. Such profound truths lead us to see that any portrayal of Jesus as merely a created being diminishes the fullness of His divine and salvific role.
