How do we know Christ is the fulfillment of the firstborn prophecy?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the prophecy of the firstborn through His life, death, and resurrection, fulfilling Old Testament typologies.

The fulfillment of Christ as firstborn is seen throughout Scripture, particularly in the typology established in the Old Testament. In Hosea 11:1, God indicates, 'Out of Egypt have I called my son,' which points to Jesus' escape to Egypt and return. Matthew 2:15 confirms this, showing that Jesus embodies this prophecy. Christ's life and His role as the Mediator establish Him as the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29), thereby fulfilling these prophecies and typologies. His resurrection further confirms His status as the firstborn from the dead, signifying His ultimate authority over life and death.
