What does the Bible say about Christ's authority and equality with God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible affirms Christ's authority and equality with God through His claims and the miraculous works He performed.

The Scriptures present Jesus Christ as equal with God, a claim He affirms by stating, 'My Father worketh hitherto, and I work' (John 5:17). This assertion of equality is substantiated by a threefold witness: John the Baptist's testimony, the works that Jesus performed, and the witness of God the Father. Each of these confirms the truth of Christ's claims. John the Baptist pointed towards Jesus as the Lamb of God, while Jesus' miracles demonstrated His divine authority and role in salvation. Ultimately, Jesus states that these works and testimonies are given that we might be saved.
