Fully God and fully man verse KJV

      The concept of Jesus being fully God and fully man is not stated in a single verse, but it is supported by multiple passages in the King James Version (KJV). Here are some key verses:

Jesus as Fully God

      The Bible affirms Christ’s divinity in multiple ways—through His eternal existence, divine attributes, and explicit declarations.

1. John 1:1 – "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

      This verse establishes Jesus (the Word) as eternal and divine. He was not created but existed from the beginning with God and was God.

2. Colossians 2:9 – "For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."

      This verse confirms that the fullness of God’s nature is present in Christ. Jesus is not a partial representation of God—He fully embodies the divine nature.

3. Titus 2:13 – "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;"

      Paul refers to Jesus as "the great God and our Saviour," directly identifying Him as divine.

4. Hebrews 1:8 – "But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom."

      Here, God the Father calls the Son "O God," proving that Jesus is fully God.

5. John 10:30 – "I and my Father are one."

      Jesus claims unity with the Father, meaning He shares the same divine essence. The Jews understood this as a claim to divinity (John 10:33).

Jesus as Fully Man

      Even though Jesus was fully divine, He was also fully human. He experienced birth, hunger, thirst, fatigue, emotions, suffering, and death.

1. John 1:14 – "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

      This verse highlights the Incarnation—God became flesh and lived among people. Jesus took on a human body and nature.

2. Philippians 2:6-8 – "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."

      Jesus, though equal with God, humbled Himself and took on human nature. He did not lose His divinity but added humanity to it.

3. Hebrews 2:14 – "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"

      Jesus had to take on human flesh to die for humanity’s sins. His human nature allowed Him to experience death, something God alone cannot do.

4. Luke 2:52 – "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man."

      This verse shows that Jesus grew physically, mentally, and socially, just like any human.

5. Matthew 4:2 – "And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred."

      Jesus experienced hunger, proving He had a real human body.

The Necessity of Both Natures

      The doctrine of Jesus being fully God and fully man is essential for salvation.

1. As God, He is sinless and able to provide a perfect sacrifice.

      If Jesus were only human, His death would not be sufficient to atone for the sins of the world (1 John 2:2).

2. As a man, He could truly represent humanity.

       He lived a perfect life on our behalf and died as our substitute (Hebrews 4:15).

      Without both natures, Jesus could not fulfill His role as Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). His divinity ensures His sacrifice is worthy, and His humanity allows Him to take our place.

      Thus, Scripture teaches that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, a foundational truth of Christianity.
