This study may help you answer the age-old question: Is Jesus God? The study relies totally on Scripture for the answers, both from the Old and New Testaments.

Hindus believe Jesus is just one of thousands of gods, Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus was a god, Muslims believe that Jesus was a great prophet, but the Bible teaches that Jesus was fully God – even in his humanity.

To circumvent the argument of Christ’s divinity, some will argue that the Holy Scriptures can’t be relied upon as there have been numerous changes to the Hebrew and Greek originals over the years. This is a patent falsehood which can easily dis-proven by a careful study on the subject of the authenticity of the Bible. An excellent resource is A Book to Die For by Dr. William McRae, a fascinating book that everyone can enjoy and understand.

Many people say: “He is God himself” but can we really say that? How can he be God when there are so many verses that show that he is under the Father or separate from the Father? Does the Bible teach about a triune God? Is it at all important that Jesus is God? Many ask why God didn’t make it clear in His word. Pascal reasoned: “Because He wanted to appear unveiled to those who seek him with all their heart, and because he wanted to stay veiled to those who flee from him with all their heart, he set his recognisability in such a way, that he gave signs of Himself, visible to those who seek him but invisible to those who do not seek him. There is enough light for those who want nothing else but to see, and there is enough darkness for the others who don’t want to see.”

If Jesus is God, then we have to give him the worship that God should have; to neglect in giving him this would be an insult to God. If Jesus Christ isn’t God, then our worship would be blasphemy and idolatry, even if he was a higher being. If Jesus isn’t God, then many are sinning because they “worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever” (Romans 1:25).

We let God’s Word speak (all scripture references below from the King James Bible). 54 different traits and attributes of God, that are fulfilled in the Person of Jesus Christ, are reviewed. The links will take you to the NIV translation. More than 100 languages and translations are available.
