How do we know that Christ's authority is divine?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's authority is divine as He performs acts of power such as granting life and judging, which only God can do according to Scripture.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus asserts His divine authority by stating that all judgment has been given to Him by the Father, as seen in John 5:22. The ability to give life and execute judgment confirms His position as God. This understanding is critical, as it highlights how Jesus, while fully human, also operates fully in His divine nature. Each action of Jesus reveals the authority vested in Him through His Sonship, fulfilling the promises of God and demonstrating their shared divine will and purpose, integral to the doctrine of the Trinity.
