How do we know Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament types?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ fulfills the Old Testament types through His life, death, and resurrection, which align with the prophecies and shadows presented in Scripture.

The fulfillment of Old Testament types in Christ is established through prophetic utterances and their historical manifestations in the New Testament. Christ's life, death, and resurrection mirror the types, such as the brazen serpent lifted up for healing (John 3:14-15) and the rock providing life-giving water (1 Corinthians 10:4). These events confirm that Old Testament figures were not merely historical but divinely orchestrated to prefigure Christ's ultimate work of redemption. Thus, faith in Christ is essential, as He is the substance of all that those types represented, fulfilling God's promises to His people throughout scripture.
