What does the Bible say about jesus being god?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is truly God the Son, eternally one with the Father, yet distinct in person, and worthy of the worship and trust given to God alone. John declares that the Word was God and became flesh in Jesus Christ (John 1:1, 14), through whom all things were made (John 1:3). Jesus said, “I and the Father are one” (John 10:30), and His hearers understood this as a claim to deity (John 10:30-33). He also identified Himself with God’s eternal name, saying, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). Thomas rightly confessed Him, “My Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Isaiah foretold the Messiah as “Mighty God” (Isaiah 9:6).
