How do we know that Christ is truly the Son of God?

The clear affirmation of Christ’s identity as the Son of God is fundamentally rooted in divine revelation. Just as Simon Peter confessed that Jesus is 'the Christ, the Son of the living God,' his understanding was a gift from God and not a product of human reasoning (Matthew 16:16-17). Additionally, the inner conviction provided by the Holy Spirit enables believers to recognize and affirm that Jesus is indeed the Son of God. This revelation is essential for establishing true faith and understanding the nature of salvation.
