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

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's authority is validated by His ability to perform miracles, teach with divine insight, and extend forgiveness.

The truth of Christ's authority is demonstrated through His works and teachings. In Matthew 9, for example, He forgives sins and heals the sick, showcasing His dual authority over physical and spiritual matters. The astonished reactions of the crowds imply recognition of His unique ability to speak and act on behalf of God (Matthew 9:6-8). Furthermore, Christ's fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies further cements the authenticity of His claims and His God-given authority, highlighting that He is the embodiment of Scripture.
