Jesus said "I and the Father are one." Therefore, Jesus is God the same as God the Father. John 1 refers to Jesus as "the Word," ("and the Word became flesh and dwelt among us"), and says in the first verse that "in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This is the foundation for the Christian concept of the Trinity.
In other words, Christians call Jesus God because He is. Seek out the book Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis - it's an easy and engaging read, and Lewis addresses the Trinity rather well as I recall.
