You only have part of the truth.
Jesus didn't just believe it, The scriptures foretold of him being the son of God.
Look in the old testament at Isaiah 9:6
it says; 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.
Now look at Matthew 1:20 thru 25: it states;
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel - which means, "God with us."
When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
Now tie these new testament verses in with a old testament verse look at Isaiah 7:14: it states;
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
As far as Jesus stating that him and the Father are one that's a true statement, you'll find that scripture in John 10:22 thru 30.
The bible states that Jesus Christ is God, see John 1:1 thru 5, and verse 14, (which shows who the Word is, verse 1 and 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. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Titus 2:13, it states: while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:20 states: We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true-even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
God said in the old testament (Isaiah 42:8), I am the Lord; that is my name! I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to idols.
So, in conclusion you'll have to say that either Jesus Christ is a raving lunatic or either he is God.
Therefore since the Bible states that Jesus is God, I'll leave you with my motto to live and die by:
God said it...I read it...I believe it...I received it... and that settles it!

Jesus says over and over that There is NO God but God.
Matt. 19:16-17---One came and said unto him, Good master, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life? And he (Jesus) said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God.
John:17-3------ Now this is eternal, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Matt. 4:10---- Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.
Mark 12:29---- Here O Isreal: The Lord our God is ONE Lord.
1 Tim. 2:5----- For there is one God and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
