How do we know that Christ is both God and man?

Answered in 4 sources

Christ's dual nature is affirmed in scriptures where David refers to Him as Lord, indicating His divinity (Psalm 110:1, Matthew 22:45).

In Matthew 22:45, Jesus poses a question to the Pharisees regarding the identity of the Messiah, quoting Psalm 110:1, where David calls Him 'Lord.' This acknowledgment points to the pre-existence and divinity of Christ, challenging the limited understanding of the Pharisees about the Messiah as merely a human descendant of David. To grasp Christ's true nature, it requires recognition of Him not only as the son of David but as the Son of God, fully divine and human, which is central to Reformed theology.
