There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.' He who was seated on the throne said, 'I am making everything new!'"

Yes, the concept that Jesus is fully God and fully man is a foundational doctrine in Christianity. It is supported by numerous verses throughout the Bible, emphasizing His divine nature as the Son of God (כ, kaf, symbolizing divine authority) and His human nature as the Son of Man. Here are key passages: Verses Declaring Jesus as Fully God

   John 1:1-3, 14
   "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ... The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."
       Jesus (the Word) is fully God, yet He became flesh, showing His full humanity.
   Colossians 1:15-17
   "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
       Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God, fully divine.

   Philippians 2:6-8
   "Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!"
       This passage explains how Jesus, though fully God, took on full humanity and became a servant.
   Hebrews 2:14-17
   "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil—and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. ... For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people."
       Jesus took on full humanity to redeem humanity.
   John 1:14
   "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us."
       God took on human flesh, fully embracing human nature.

       This verse shows Jesus’ human development, growing physically, intellectually, and spiritually.
   1 Timothy 2:5
   "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus."

Verses Highlighting Both Natures Together

   Matthew 1:23
   "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" (which means "God with us").
   Jesus’ birth shows both His human nature (born of a virgin) and His divine nature ("God with us").
   Isaiah 9:6
   "For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
   Jesus is prophesied as both a child (humanity) and Mighty God (divinity).
   Romans 1:3-4
   "Regarding his Son, who as to his earthly life was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was appointed the Son of God in power by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord."
   Jesus is shown as fully human (descendant of David) and fully divine (Son of God).
   John 8:58
   "Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
   Jesus identifies Himself with the divine name "I AM," affirming His preexistence and divinity, even as He stood as a man before His audience.
