We know Jesus is our King due to His identification as both Lord and Christ, affirmed in scripture and His finished work.
The recognition of Jesus as our King comes from the acknowledgment of Him as both Lord and Christ, as stated clearly by Peter in Acts 2:36. His regal authority is not only declared but demonstrated through His perfect righteousness and His redemptive work accomplished on the cross. By purging our sins and sitting down at the right hand of God, He enters into glory as the victor and leads His people into salvation, confirming that He genuinely reigns as our sovereign.
