How do we know John the Baptist was great in God's eyes?

Answered in 1 source

John the Baptist's greatness is defined by his role in God's plan, turning hearts towards Him.

The angel’s proclamation in Luke 1:15 that John would be 'great in the sight of the Lord' illustrates a principle that God's measurement of greatness differs from worldly standards. True greatness, in the biblical sense, is not based on a person’s societal status, but on their faithfulness and obedience to God’s calling. John was chosen to prepare a people for the Lord, highlighting that those who serve God and fulfill His will are valued greatly in His kingdom.
