How do we know Christ's authority is divinely appointed?

The authority of Christ is seen in how the Father exalts Him to a position of power and dominion. In Hebrews 1:8, the Father declares, 'Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever,' affirming that Christ holds a divine status and authority. This authority is rooted in His righteousness and His anointing with the 'oil of gladness,' which signifies His appointment as the rightful King. Further, the entirety of Scripture points to Christ's divine role, from Genesis to Revelation, validating His authority through prophetic promises and fulfilled covenants.
