What does the Bible say about the nature of Jesus?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible teaches that Jesus is both fully God and fully man, taking on human flesh to fulfill God's plan of redemption.
The nature of Jesus is central to Christian theology, affirming that He is both fully divine and fully human. Hebrews 2:9-10 emphasizes that Jesus was made 'a little lower than the angels' for the suffering of death, so He could taste death for everyone chosen by God. In His incarnation, He took on the seed of Abraham, becoming the mediator who could fulfill all righteousness for His people. This dual nature is crucial because only as both God and man could He effectively serve as our substitute and Savior, reconciling us to God through His perfect obedience and sacrifice.
