How do we know that Jesus is God manifest in the flesh?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus is God manifest in the flesh through the witness of Scripture and the testimony of the Holy Spirit, who confirms this truth in the hearts of believers.

We understand Jesus as God manifest in the flesh as presented in 1 Timothy 3:16 and John 1:14, where it clearly states, 'The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.' This affirmation by Scripture lays a foundational truth for our faith. Christ’s incarnation demonstrates God’s deep engagement with creation and His willingness to restore humanity through a personal and redemptive relationship. Furthermore, throughout the New Testament, we see Christ performing miracles, teaching with divine authority, and ultimately rising from the dead, actions that validate His divine nature.

Additionally, the role of the Holy Spirit is crucial in recognizing Jesus as God. The Spirit justified Christ by affirming His ministry, guiding the apostles’ understanding, and illuminating the Scriptures to us. As believers, we have the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit, who witnesses to our spirits that we are indeed children of God. Thus, our conviction that Jesus is the incarnate God is both a matter of revealed theology and personal faith, backed by the transformative power of the Spirit who confirms this truth in our lives.
