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

Answered in 6 sources

The miraculous nature of the virgin birth is validated through biblical prophecy and the explicit testimony of Mary and Joseph's experience as recorded in Scripture.

The virgin birth is validated through the fulfillment of prophecy, namely in Isaiah 7:14, which is explicitly referenced in the New Testament in Matthew 1:22-23. This fulfills Old Testament expectations with divine certainty. Additionally, it is confirmed by the account of Mary and Joseph, where the angel of the Lord in Matthew 1:20-21 tells Joseph that what is conceived in Mary is of the Holy Spirit. The truth of the virgin birth is rooted in the authority of God’s Word and the instance of God's sovereign choice of Mary, reinforcing that Jesus is the promised Messiah, not just a regular human being.
