How do we know the doctrine of Christ as the rock is true?

Answered in 2 sources

The New Testament consistently affirms that Jesus is identified as the spiritual rock through various types and foreshadows in the Old Testament.

The truth of Jesus being the rock is substantiated through both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, references to the rock illustrate God's strength and salvation, culminating in New Testament revelation where Paul explicitly states that the rock followed the Israelites in the wilderness and is Christ (1 Corinthians 10:4). This connection highlights the continuity of God's revelation throughout scripture. The fulfillment of prophecies concerning Christ’s suffering and rejection solidifies Him as the rock; moreover, His perfect obedience and sacrificial death fulfill what was foreshadowed in the striking of the rock by Moses, signifying that He alone provides the water of life and true salvation to those who believe.
