How do we know that Christ is from above?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus declares His divine origin by stating He is from above, contrasting His nature with that of the world.

In John 8:23, Jesus states, 'You are from beneath; I am from above.' This emphasizes His unique nature as the Son of God, who came from the Father and is not bound by earthly limitations. His divine origin sets Him apart from humanity, which is rooted in the world. The difference between Christ and the ungodly highlights the need for believers to look upward and pursue a life oriented towards heavenly things, as they are called to live as citizens of heaven (Philippians 3:20).
