Hebrews 1:8 — "Your Throne, O God"

Methodists affirm Hebrews 1:8 as biblical testimony to Christ's deity. The author's application of 'Your throne, O God' to the Son establishes that Christ is God and possesses eternal authority. John Wesley taught that this passage provides scriptural support for the divinity of Christ against Unitarian interpretations.

The Methodist quadrilateral supports this reading: Scripture clearly teaches Christ's deity here; Christian tradition affirms it; reason accepts the coherence of divine incarnation; and Christian experience knows Christ as Lord and Savior. Hebrews 1:8 is part of the exalted view of Christ that pervades the New Testament and Methodist theology.
