Who is Jesus

The deity of Christ has always been under attack by him who lies continually and tries to deceive mankind before God. Here are a few verses to encourage you to know Jesus as God: 

"He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'" 
Matthew 16:15-16

Here Jesus makes clear that he is not John the Baptist, a great preacher, or Elijah come back from heaven after being taken up. He makes a clear separation between him as a prophet and him as something totally different, a son of the Living God, which according to Matthew 26:63 would have been known to the people of the time as the Christ that was coming to save man. 

"Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.'" 
John 8:58 

Jesus declare his existence since times that have long since passed. He says here that he existed before Abraham. This is a clear reference to God's own declaration in Exodus 3:14 and shows Jesus' own belief in himself to be God, born in the flesh. 

 "But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, 'I adjure You by the living God, that You tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.' Jesus said to him, 'You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.' Then the high priest tore his robes and said, 'He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;'" 
Matthew 26:63-65 

 This again shows that Jesus believed himself to be God and that others around him understood him to be saying that very thing that he was God.  Jesus rose from death and ascended on high.  He foretold this, and we can believe him because has not been shown to be a liar.  Others have claimed to be God and still others have claimed various things related to death, but Jesus stands apart from all these claims.  Trust that Jesus is God, and he keeps his word.  He will raise those who believe on him on the last day, and those who do not will be delivered into the lake of fire.
