How do we know Jesus was sent by God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible provides numerous attestations to Jesus being sent by the Father to accomplish the work of salvation, demonstrating His divine authority and purpose.

Scriptural evidence confirms Jesus as the one sent by God. In John 8:42, Jesus explicitly claims, 'I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.' This statement affirms His divine commission. Additionally, the works He performed, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, serve as a testament to His authority as the one sent. Importantly, His mission was to save those whom God has given Him, as articulated in John 6:39, affirming that His purpose, defined by divine intention, secures the salvation of the elect without failure. For those looking to understand that Christ's works confirm His divine origin and mission, these scriptures stand as assurance of His sent purpose.
