How do we know that Christ is the fulfillment of Old Testament types?

Christ is the fulfillment of Old Testament types and shadows as revealed in Scripture, as Jesus Himself opened the understanding of His disciples to see how all the Law and the Prophets testify of Him (Luke 24:27). The Old Testament narratives, sacrifices, and figures such as Adam, Noah, and Abraham serve as types pointing to the ultimate redemption found in Christ. As the second Adam, Jesus fulfills the role by succeeding where the first man failed, establishing a new covenant of grace through His death and resurrection, thus confirming the truth of the Old Testament types.
