God the Son
The Deity of Christ
True God and True Man
Description
Jesus Christ is not merely a great teacher, prophet, or even the highest created being—He is God incarnate, the second person of the Trinity clothed in human flesh. Scripture ascribes to Him every divine attribute: eternality, omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence, immutability. He receives worship, forgives sins, and claims equality with the Father. Thomas's confession 'My Lord and my God' represents the proper response to the risen Christ. The deity of Christ is not an optional doctrine but the foundation upon which Christianity stands—if Christ is not God, His sacrifice cannot atone for sins, and Christianity collapses.
