How do we know the excellence of Christ is true?

Answered in 1 source

The excellence of Christ is confirmed through Scriptures which highlight His purity and redemptive work.

The excellence of Christ can be validated through the teachings of Scripture, particularly in the imagery used in the Song of Solomon where Christ is described as 'white and ruddy' (Song of Solomon 5:10). This duality symbolizes His perfect purity, represented by the white, and His sacrificial nature, denoted by the red. The Bible illustrates that Christ, as the Son of God, is inherently pure and as the Lamb of God, He shed His blood for the redemption of His people (1 John 1:5).

Additionally, Christ's redemptive work upon the cross is the foundation of the Christian faith. 2 Corinthians 5:21 reveals that Christ became sin on behalf of His elect so that they might be made the righteousness of God in Him. This substitutionary atonement is a profound demonstration of His love and grace, confirming His excellence. Thus, studying the person of Christ and understanding His sacrificial role confirms His superiority and preeminence compared to anyone else, establishing His excellence in the hearts of believers.
