Is Jesus God?
The short answer
Christians believe Jesus is God Himself in human form, not merely a man who spoke about God, but God who came among us. He accepted worship, forgave sins, and claimed oneness with the Father, and His resurrection vindicated those claims. This is the central, astonishing claim of the Christian faith: that in Jesus, we see God.

Keep seeking
You are welcome to bring your honest questions to The Living Bread, read the Word, ask Simon anything, talk with real believers, and pray, even if you are unsure. Seeking is not the opposite of faith; it is often the beginning of it.
