How do we know the message of Christ's birth is true?
Answered in 1 source
The truth of Christ's birth is supported by divine revelation as well as historical accounts, such as the testimony of the shepherds (Luke 2:15-20).
The message of Christ's birth is affirmed by both divine revelation and the responses of those who encountered it. The angelic announcement to the shepherds highlights that this event was significant not just in a religious sense, but as a moment of great joy for all humanity. After witnessing the fulfillment of the angel’s words, the shepherds proclaimed what they had seen, which lends credence to the historical reality of the event. As believers, we rely on the Scriptures, which were inspired by the Holy Spirit, as authoritative truth, affirming the miraculous birth of Jesus as part of God's redemptive plan.
