How do we know that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus Christ fulfills the Old Testament promises as the Messiah, accomplishing redemption through His life, death, and resurrection.
Throughout the Old Testament, numerous prophecies point to a coming Messiah, and Jesus' life and works are the fulfillment of these divine promises. For instance, Psalm 68 is regarded as a messianic psalm; Ephesians 4:8 directly relates this psalm to Christ's ascension where He 'led captivity captive' and 'received gifts for men.' Furthermore, the New Testament frequently cites Jesus as the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets, establishing that He is the anticipated Savior who would accomplish redemption for His people. In Christ, all the promises of God find their 'Yes' and 'Amen,' thus confirming His role as the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenantal promises throughout scripture.
