How do we know Christ is the true Messiah?

The Bible confirms that Jesus Christ is the true Messiah as foretold in the Davidic covenant. In 2 Samuel 7:12-13, God promises David that his throne will endure forever, which is fulfilled in Jesus, a descendant of David. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus is referred to as the Son of David, affirming His rightful claim to this eternal kingship. Furthermore, in Luke 4:18, Christ declares His anointing by the Spirit to proclaim the good news, firmly establishing Him as the awaited Messiah who comes to redeem and rule. The prophecies and lineage together assure us of Christ's messianic identity.
