If any more is needed to demonstrate that Jesus is God, we can compare the attributes of Jesus with the attributes of God. In doing so we find out that Jesus possesses all the attributes and prerogatives of God, particularly those that can belong only to God. In His humanity, Jesus is visible, confined to a physical body, weak, imperfect in power, and so on. In His divine nature, however, Jesus is a Spirit; for Romans 8:9 speaks of the Spirit of Christ. In His deity, Jesus was and is omnipresent. For example, in John 3:13 Jesus referred to "the Son of man which is in heaven" even tho He was still on earth. His omnipresence explains why He could say in the present tense while on earth, "Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them" (Mathew 18;20). In other words, while the fullness of God"s character was located in the human body of Jesus, the omnipresent Spirit of Jesus could not be so confined. While Jesus walked this earth as a man, His Spirit was still everywhere at the same time.
Jesus is also omniscient, for He could read thoughts (Mark 2;6-12). He knew Nathanael before He met him (John 1: 47-50). He knows all things (John 21;17), and all wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him (Colossians 2:3).
Jesus is omnipotent; He has all power, is the head of all principality and power, and Almighty (Mathew 28;18; Colossians 2:10; Revelation 1:8).
Jesus is immutable and unchanging (Hebrews 13:8-12). He is also eternal and immortal (Revelation 1:8, 18).
Only God should receive worship (Exodus 20:1-5; 34:14), yet Jesus received worship on many occasions and will receive worship from all creation (Luke 24:52; Philippians 2:10; Hebrews 1:6). Only God can forgive sin (Isaiah 43:25), yet Jesus has power to forgive sin (Mark 2:5). God receives the spirits of people (Ecclesiastes 12:7), yet Jesus received the spirit of Stephen (Acts 7:59). God is the preparer of heaven (Hebrews 11:10), yet Jesus is the preparer of heaven (John 14:3). Therefore, we find that Jesus has all the attributes and prerogatives that belong to God alone.
Moreover, Jesus displays all the characteristics God has. For example, while on earth Jesus displayed godly emotions such as joy, compassion, and sorrow (Luke 10:21; Mark 6:34; John 11:35). The Bible also testifies that He has the moral attributes of God. Below is a list of some moral attributes of Jesus that correspond to those of God.
Jesus is everything that the Bible describes God to be. He has all the attributes, prerogatives, and characteristics of God Himself. To put it simply, everything that God is Jesus is. Jesus is the one God. There is no better way to sum it all up than to say with the inspired apostle Paul, "For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him"(Colossians 2: 9-10)
