How do we know that Jesus is more than just a good teacher?

Jesus responds to the rich man's address of Him as 'good master' by stating, 'There is none good but one, that is, God' (Mark 10:18). This declaration affirms His divinity and the necessity of recognizing Him as more than a mere teacher. Many acknowledge Jesus as a good teacher or moral guide, but His identity as the Savior and Son of God is foundational in the Christian faith. Understanding Jesus as God is essential for true worship and recognition of our need for salvation through Him.
