What does it mean that Christ is equal with God?

Answered in 1 source

Christ being equal with God signifies that He possesses the same divine essence and attributes as the Father.

The assertion that Christ is equal with God encapsulates the doctrine of the Trinity, affirming that Jesus, as the Son, shares the same divine essence and attributes as God the Father. This is articulated in Philippians 2:6, where it states that Jesus, 'being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.' This equality indicates that Christ shares in the full sovereignty, knowledge, and power of God, serving as the foundation for our assurance in His ability to save and to reign. His equality with God also means that His words and work carry ultimate authority, a theme consistent throughout the New Testament. Ultimately, recognizing Christ's equality with God is vital for a proper understanding of His salvific work and His nature as our Savior.
