How do we know Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God?

Answered in 2 sources

The eternal Sonship of Christ is evidenced by scriptural declarations and His unique relationship with the Father, as seen throughout the New Testament.

The certainty of Jesus Christ being the eternal Son of God is substantiated by various biblical texts. In Matthew 3:17 and Matthew 17:5, God identifies Jesus as His beloved Son before His incarnation, insisting His sonship is not contingent upon His birth but is inherent to His being. The concept of 'eternal generation' explains that the Son is begotten, not made, thus highlighting His divine essence and eternal relationship with the Father. Furthermore, Hebrews 1:5 illustrates that God never referred to any angel as His Son, reinforcing that Christ is uniquely the eternal Son.
