How do we know Christ has authority?

The sovereignty and authority of Christ are affirmed in the Scriptures as He is designated by God for the purpose of redeeming His people. As stated, 'Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved' (Acts 4:12). This underscores Christ's unique role in the salvation of humanity and highlights His divine authority. Additionally, Philippians 2:9-11 elaborates on how God has exalted Him and given Him a name above every name, indicating that His authority is recognized in heaven and on earth.
