How do we know the doctrine of Christ's divine nature is true?
Answered in 1 source
The divine nature of Christ is confirmed through multiple biblical accounts, including eyewitness testimonies from His disciples during the transfiguration.
The transfiguration serves as a divine confirmation of Christ's deity, as recorded in the Gospels. Peter, John, and James witnessed an extraordinary event where Jesus’ appearance was transformed, reflecting His divine glory. As Peter later writes in 2 Peter 1:16-18, he and the other apostles were eyewitnesses of Christ's majesty, having seen the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father. These experiences, solidified by God's voice from the cloud proclaiming Jesus as His beloved Son, reinforce the doctrine of Christ's divine nature as undeniably true. This moment also emphasizes the fulfillment of the law and the prophets, showcasing continuity in God’s redemptive plan as seen in Moses and Elijah's presence, affirming the Old Testament's anticipation of the Messiah.
