How do we know that Christ is the Messiah?

Answered in 6 sources

Christ is identified as the Messiah through Old Testament prophecies, particularly in Psalm 110, and affirmed by His resurrection and exaltation by God.

Christ's identity as the Messiah is rooted in Old Testament prophecies, particularly in Psalm 110, which speaks of His unique role and reign. Jesus Himself referenced this Psalm to highlight His divine nature, challenging the Pharisees' understanding of the Messiah. Their failure to recognize Jesus as more than a descendant of David reflects a common misunderstanding of Messiahship. The resurrection of Christ serves as the ultimate confirmation of His identity, demonstrating that He not only fulfills the messianic prophecies but exceeds them by being both fully God and fully man.
