Jesus affirmed His identity as the Son of God through His works and the prophecies fulfilled in Him, as well as through His unique relationship with the Father.
The identity of Jesus as the Son of God is substantiated by His miraculous works and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. In the face of skepticism from the Pharisees, Jesus challenged them, asking which of His good works warranted their hostility (John 10:32). He also pointed to His relationship with the Father, stating, 'I and my Father are one' (John 10:30), thereby equating Himself with God. Furthermore, the Scriptures bear witness to Him, indicating that His role was prophesied and preordained before time. As a faithful servant, those who come to Him through faith and recognize Him as the Son of God are assured of their eternal life in Him (John 10:28).
