- 1. The divinity of Jesus is a central tenet of Christian faith, profoundly affirmed throughout the New Testament and echoed in the traditions and doctrines of the Church. From the moment of the Annunciation, when the angel Gabriel declared to Mary that she would conceive a child by the Holy Spirit, the identity of Jesus as both fully God and fully man is established. His teachings reflect the divine authority, as seen in the Sermon on the Mount, where he articulates a revolutionary understanding of God’s law. Throughout his ministry, Jesus performs miracles—healing the sick, raising the dead, and commanding nature—which serve as signs pointing to his divine nature. The profound statement made by Thomas, one of his disciples, after witnessing the resurrected Jesus, exclaims, 'My Lord and my God!' This moment encapsulates the recognition of Jesus' divine identity. Furthermore, his resurrection from the dead is not merely a miracle but a definitive affirmation of his divinity, demonstrating victory over sin and death, thus securing salvation for humanity. The early church fathers and ecumenical councils later articulated this divine nature in creeds, most notably the Nicene Creed, declaring Jesus as 'true God from true God.' Through these scriptural and historical affirmations, Christians testify to the divinity of Jesus as the Son of God, whose life and works reveal the nature of God himself, inviting believers into a personal relationship with the divine through faith.
