How do we know that Jesus is both Lord and Christ?
Answered in 3 sources
The affirmation of Jesus as Lord and Christ is established through His resurrection and the miraculous signs performed during His ministry.
Peter's sermon explicitly states that Jesus of Nazareth, who performed miracles and wonders, was delivered up according to God's foreknowledge. His resurrection confirms His divine authority and fulfillment of messianic prophecy. In verses 36 and 24, Peter emphasizes that God raised Jesus from the dead, thus making Him both Lord and Christ, a truth confirmed by the apostles who were witnesses of His resurrection. This proclamation underlines the centrality of Christ in the gospel and His sovereignty as God’s appointed Redeemer.
