How do we know Christ was born of a virgin?

Answered in 1 source

The prophecy in Isaiah confirms that the Messiah would be born of a virgin—a fundamental aspect of His holy nature.

Isaiah 7:14 prophesies that a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, proclaiming that His name will be called Immanuel, which means 'God with us.' This virgin birth is crucial because it signifies that Jesus was free from original sin, inherited from Adam through natural generation. Instead, He is born holy and divine, allowing Him to be both fully God and fully man. Thus, His birth as a virgin lays the groundwork for His unique nature, necessary for being the perfect sacrifice for sin. Paul emphasizes this in Galatians 4:4 when he writes that God sent forth His Son 'made of a woman,' further establishing the virgin birth as a pivotal event in redemptive history.
