What is the significance of Jesus Christ’s claim to be God?
-
If he’s not God then he was just another man – Because He was God in the flesh and died and rose again we have forgiveness of sins through his precious blood.
-
It is had to put into words the magnitude of the significance of not only Christ’s claim but the fact that Christ is God. Without it we have no chance of salvation, redemption, connection to the Father, etc….
-
The whole Bible stands or falls on this fact. If Jesus is not God then there is no hope for mankind.

In Luke 3 vs 22 as Jesus was praying the holy spirit descended on him in bodily form as a Dove.A voice came from heaven,that was God who pronounced that “You are my son ,whom I love ;with you I am well pleased. This is God’s own voice making it clear that the son was brought to us and go through all humans go through such as pain which he endured, the only difference is he was sinless and died to save us from our sins. He is the only person who died and rose again and he is still alive with us. We are yet to see another person go through resurrection.The significance of Jesus’s claim to be God is it is only through Jesus that our sins can be forgiven.

If Jesus is not God, then faith in Him for forgiveness of sin is not valid.
