The recognition of Jesus as the Holy One of God comes from biblical affirmations and the testimony of demons in the Scriptures.
In Mark 1:24, the unclean spirit cries out, identifying Jesus as the Holy One of God, which underscores His divine identity and mission. Furthermore, various passages in the Old Testament, such as Isaiah 54:5, refer to God as the Holy One, which points forward to Christ's fulfillment of that role. The acknowledgment from even unclean spirits serves to affirm the truth of Jesus’ nature and the divine authority that accompanies Him. His holiness is not only a matter of identity but also about His function as the Redeemer and the one who brings about salvation for His people.
