How do we know the doctrine of Christ's humiliation is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The truth of Christ's humiliation is validated through Scripture, which prophetic foretells His suffering and the nature of His incarnation.

The doctrine of the humiliation of Christ is firmly rooted in scriptural truth. Colossians 1:19 tells us that 'it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell.' This fullness includes the fullness of humility and suffering. Not only did the prophets like Isaiah foretell of the Messiah’s coming as suffering servant (Isaiah 53), but we also see Christ's humility in His earthly life, as He interacted with those around Him, displaying traits of meekness and servanthood. Furthermore, His willingness to endure the cross highlights His humility as the fulfillment of Scripture, demonstrating God's plan for redemption that culminated in Christ’s condescension.
