How do we know that Christ was anointed by the Holy Spirit?

Answered in 1 source

Christ was anointed by the Holy Spirit as described in scriptures like Acts 10:38 and Luke 4:18.

The anointing of Christ is affirmed through multiple New Testament scriptures, such as Acts 10:38, which states, 'How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power.' Similarly, in Luke 4:18, Jesus himself proclaims, 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel.' This anointing sets Christ apart as the Messiah, the chosen one who was empowered by the Holy Spirit to fulfill His earthly ministry. The magnitude of this anointing is unique, as it was given without measure, unlike the anointing given to prophets, priests, and kings of the Old Testament.
