How do we know Christ's divinity and humanity is true?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's dual nature as both divine and human is affirmed in scripture, particularly through His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.
The doctrine of Christ being both fully God and fully man is central to Christian theology, as demonstrated in Matthew 22:41-46 where Jesus questions the Pharisees about His identity as the Son of David while also claiming divinity. This paradox of being David’s Lord and David’s Son speaks to His unique nature as the God-man, emphasized in the incarnation where He took on human flesh without sin (Hebrews 4:15). Moreover, passages such as John 1:14 confirm that the Word became flesh, highlighting the necessity of understanding Christ's dual nature for proper worship and acknowledgment. The confessions and creeds of the church throughout history affirm this truth based on scripture.
