What does the Bible say about the deity of Christ?
Answered in 21 sources
The Bible affirms the deity of Christ by declaring Him as the image of the invisible God and the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form.
The Scripture explicitly teaches the deity of Christ. In Colossians 1:15, it states that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. This indicates that to see Jesus is to see God. Furthermore, Colossians 2:9 proclaims that in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily, reaffirming His divine nature. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is depicted performing God’s works, forgiving sins, and receiving worship, all affirming His identity as God incarnate. The offense of the gospel has always been tied to this truth, causing divisions among those who accept it and those who reject it.
