What does the Bible say about the title Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The title Christ means 'the anointed one' and signifies someone chosen by God to bring salvation.

In the biblical context, the title Christ, derived from the Greek word for Messiah, indicates one chosen by God, empowered to fulfill His divine purpose of salvation. This selection is not based on human merit but solely on God's sovereign choice. All those anointed in the Old Testament, such as prophets, priests, and kings, were types pointing towards Jesus Christ, the ultimate Messiah, chosen to carry out the work of redemption. As stated in Psalm 89:20, 'I have anointed him,' it underscores that God Himself establishes who the anointed one is, including Jesus as the Christ, fitting perfectly into God’s redemptive plan.
