Some modern believers question the deity of Christ. They challenge—and some even flat out deny—that Jesus is God. Yet, the belief that Jesus is divine goes all the way back to the earliest years of the Christian faith, and it comes straight out of the mouth of Jesus Himself , and the biblical text. So that particular doctrine of the Deity of Christ has withstood many challenges and heresies.
In this video, we look at the Scriptural reasons why Christians believe Jesus is divine and why it matters. We look at it from three different perspectives: (1.) Direct statements made by Jesus claiming to be God, (2.) Christ's indirect statements that presuppose His divinity and that would be either nonsensical or sheer evil for someone to say if they weren’t God, and (3. ) we’ll look at a few examples from the Bible where Jesus does things that only God can do.
