Jesus: Fully God, Fully Human
Jesus is 100% God and 100% human at the same time. As God, He always existed and has all power. As a human, He was born, grew up, got tired, and felt pain, just like us. That’s what makes Him able to fully understand us and fully save us.
Frequently asked questions
Did Jesus stop being God while on earth?
