The Bible affirms that the work of Christ is divine, as He does the work that only God can do, reflecting His equality with God the Father.
In John 5:17, Jesus says, 'My Father is working until now, and I am working.' This declaration emphasizes that the work He performs is not merely an extension of human efforts but is fundamentally divine. Christ's miracles, like healing the impotent man, serve as clear testimonies that He is indeed the Son of God, demonstrating His authority to perform such works. Moreover, the Scriptures, as John 5:39 indicates, testify about Him, affirming that the life He offers is integral to understanding His work and mission. His role as the mediator in salvation builds upon this divine foundation, where His works underline the truth of His nature as both God and man.
