In other religions, Jesus is seen as just a man or prophet—but Christianity proclaims Him as God. This truth rests on the doctrine of the Trinity: one God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18–20).

He is God!
R.C. Sproul put it plainly: Jesus isn’t just like God—He is God. He forgives sins, accepts worship, and bears divine titles. “If Jesus weren’t God,” Sproul said, “Christianity wouldn’t be salvation—it’d be idolatry.” He also stressed the inseparability of the Father and the Son: “You cannot know God the Father and repudiate the Son, and you cannot know the Son and repudiate the Father.”
