How do we know the doctrine of Jesus as the Messiah is true?
Answered in 1 source
The truth of Jesus as the Messiah is affirmed by Old Testament prophecies and the testimonies of His life and works.
The doctrine of Jesus as the Messiah is firmly established through the prophetic writings of the Old Testament, which John the Baptist references in his ministry. In Luke 3, John is recognized as the foretold prophet who prepares the way for the Lord, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecies. Such affirmations from scripture, combined with the miracles Jesus performed and His fulfillment of the law and prophecies, solidify His identity as the Messiah. Reformed theology emphasizes that all of scripture points to Jesus, culminating in His life, death, resurrection, and ascension, which fulfill God’s redemptive plan for humanity.
