How do we know that Christ is who He claims to be?

The affirmation of Christ’s identity is rooted in Scripture, which presents Him as the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah. For instance, Isaiah 4 describes Him as the branch of the Lord that will be beautiful and glorious, demonstrating His divine election and kingship. Jeremiah 23:5 further confirms this by identifying Him as a righteous branch who executes judgment and justice. The New Testament also affirms Christ's identity, particularly in John 6, where He declares Himself as the bread of life, emphasizing that true sustenance and salvation are found in Him alone. By examining these passages, we see the consistent testimony of the Bible affirming Christ’s divine nature and His role in our salvation as the elect of God.
