How do we know Jesus was born of a virgin?

Answered in 1 source

The angel Gabriel confirmed to Mary that she would conceive without a man, fulfilling prophecy.

The doctrine of the virgin birth is affirmed in Luke 1:34-35, where Mary questions how she can conceive a child since she knows not a man. The angel answers that 'the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee,' indicating a miraculous conception. This aligns with prophetic fulfillment, establishing that Jesus had to be born of a virgin to avoid inheriting Adam's sinful nature. Thus, He is fully divine and fully human, uniquely qualifying Him to be the Savior who redeems His people from sin.
