What does the Bible say about jesus crist fully man fully god?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ is one person who is truly God and truly man, the eternal Son who became flesh to save his people. John 1:1-5 declares that the Word was God, and John 1:14 says this Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Colossians 2:9 affirms that the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily in Christ, while Hebrews 2:14 shows that he truly shared our human nature. As the promised child and mighty God, Isaiah 9:6 points to his divine identity. Because he is both God and man, Jesus alone is the sufficient mediator between God and humanity, as 1 Timothy 2:5 teaches.
