How do we know that Jesus Christ is the promised Messiah?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus fulfills the prophecies and promises made to Abraham, showing He is the Messiah who saves His people.

Jesus is identified as the promised Messiah through the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and the covenants made by God. Specifically, God determined that the Messiah would come through the line of Abraham, as indicated in Genesis 22:18, where He promised that in Abraham's seed all nations would be blessed. This theological lineage is further supported by the genealogies found in the Gospels, illustrating that Jesus is indeed the fulfillment of this promise. Furthermore, His life, death, and resurrection serve as the ultimate confirmation that He is the one whom God sent to be a savior for His people (Matthew 1:21).
