How do we know the doctrine of the virgin birth is true?

Answered in 4 sources

The virgin birth is affirmed in Scripture, specifically in Isaiah 7:14 and fulfilled in the New Testament through the birth of Jesus.

The doctrine of the virgin birth is substantiated by both Old Testament prophecy and New Testament fulfillment. Isaiah 7:14 predicts that a virgin would conceive and bear a son named Immanuel, while the New Testament confirms this event through the accounts in Matthew 1:22-23, which cites Isaiah's prophecy in reference to Mary. This divine intervention is essential for understanding the nature of Christ as both fully God and fully man, allowing Him to bear the sins of humanity while satisfying God's justice. Thus, the virgin birth is not merely a theological assertion but a biblically grounded truth.
