How do we know the centurion believed Jesus was the Son of God?

Answered in 1 source

The centurion proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God after witnessing His death and the cosmic signs that accompanied it.

The proclamation of the centurion, who declared Jesus as the Son of God, is documented in all three Synoptic Gospels (Mark 15:39). His conviction came after observing the extraordinary signs at Jesus' death, notably the darkness and the earthquake, which reflected God's judgment. This hardened Roman soldier, accustomed to death, was moved in a profound way, suggesting that the manifestations of divine intervention were persuasive enough for him to recognize the unique identity and righteousness of Jesus. The force of this revelation speaks not just to the centurion's experience but also to the overarching truth that God can and does work in the hearts of men, revealing His Son to them.
