How do we know Jesus is the promised Redeemer?

Answered in 3 sources

Jesus is known as the promised Redeemer through Old Testament prophecies that affirm His identity as the Branch and His fulfilling work in salvation.

The assurance of Jesus as the promised Redeemer is deeply rooted in Old Testament prophecies, particularly in names like 'the Branch' found in Zechariah 6:12. This title highlights not only His lineage from David but also His divine calling as the one tasked with salvation. From the very beginning, God set forth an eternal plan that included a Redeemer who would restore humanity to Himself, thus fulfilling the covenant promises made to Israel.

Through Christ's life, death, and resurrection, the prophecies were fulfilled, confirming His identity and the truth of His role. Each miraculous event and teaching in the New Testament corresponds with the foreshadowing and predictions of the Old Testament, assuring believers that Jesus is indeed the one designated by God to bring about redemption. His place in the lineage of David and His embodiment of righteousness fulfill the expectations set forth by earlier scriptures, solidifying His identity in the eyes of faith.
