How do we know that Jesus is the promised Redeemer?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture demonstrates that Jesus fulfills the prophecies concerning the Redeemer through His dual nature and redemptive work.

The certainty that Jesus is the promised Redeemer stems from the fulfillment of prophecies throughout the Old Testament, which declare that the Messiah would be both human and divine. Genesis 3:15 speaks of the 'seed of the woman' who would ultimately crush the serpent’s head, indicating the need for a man with the ability to conquer sin and death. Furthermore, this fulfilled promise is affirmed in Zechariah 13:7, where God calls Him 'the man that is my fellow,' illustrating His unique nature as the divine Redeemer. The Apostle Paul elaborates on this in Romans 5:19, where he notes that just as one man’s disobedience brought sin into the world, the obedience of one man brings righteousness. Thus, understanding Jesus as the Redeemer is rooted in biblical prophecy and revelation that underscores His vital role in God’s redemptive plan.
