How do we know Jesus is God's appointed Messiah?

The title 'Christ' means the Anointed One, affirming Jesus as the appointed Messiah sent by God for humanity's salvation. Jeremiah's calling exemplifies this, as he was set apart by God before birth (Jeremiah 1:5). This pattern continues through the New Testament, where Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecies and embodies God’s covenant promises. His life, death, and resurrection, outlined in the Gospels, establish Him as the central figure of God's redemptive plan, confirming that God's anointed has come to save His people.
