We know Jesus is the Messiah through the testimonies of John the Baptist, His miraculous works, God's testimony, and the prophecies in Scripture.
The identity of Jesus as the Messiah is confirmed through multiple witnesses. John the Baptist provides testimony by recognizing Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29). The miracles and works Jesus performed, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, serve as evidence of His divine mission (John 5:36). Additionally, God's testimony at Jesus' baptism and His transfiguration affirms Jesus' identity as His beloved Son (Matthew 3:17, Luke 9:35). Finally, the Old Testament Scriptures are filled with prophecies pointing directly to Jesus, underscoring that He fulfills the promises made by God concerning salvation.
