How do we know the words of Jesus on the cross are true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of Jesus' words is affirmed by their fulfillment of prophecy and the resurrection that followed.

We know the words of Jesus spoken on the cross are true because they are rooted in the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and are reinforced by the resurrection. Each saying encapsulates critical aspects of His mission and demonstrates His obedience to the Father's will. The completeness of His sacrifice is affirmed in His declaration, 'It is finished,' which indicates that all that was required for atonement had been accomplished. Further evidence lies in the fact that He rose from the dead three days later, validating His words and the efficacy of His sacrifice.
