How do we know Jesus has authority?

Answered in 1 source

We know Jesus has authority through His words and works, including His ability to forgive sins and judge false religion.

The authority of Jesus is demonstrated through His miraculous works, His teachings, and especially His ability to forgive sins. In Mark 2:10, Jesus said, 'But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins...' This claim affirms His divine authority over sin and highlights His mission to provide salvation. Additionally, Jesus' authority is evident in His judgment over false practices, as seen in His condemnation of the money changers in the temple. Through these actions and declarations, He affirmed that His authority is derived from His identity as the Son of God, which is crucial for our faith.
