When Peter answered Jesus’ question, “You are the Christ” what kind of faith was he confessing with this answer?

The confession of Peter in Matthew 16:16, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” is the most complete confession of faith about who Jesus is.
This short sentence contains the entire essence of faith.
Its meaning can be described in three parts as follows.

First, the confession “You are the Christ” is the confession of faith that Jesus is the Messiah whom God promised.
The word “Christ” has the same meaning as the Hebrew word “Messiah” which means “the Anointed One.”
Peter did not regard Jesus as merely a prophet or a righteous teacher, but believed Him to be the Messiah sent by God to save mankind from sin.
Jesus, as King, overcame the power of sin and death and reigns over our hearts and the world.
Also, as the High Priest, He offered His own body as the atoning sacrifice and took away the sins of mankind once for all, and as the Prophet, He proclaimed the Word of God and clearly showed the way of salvation to mankind.
Therefore, Peter’s confession is the proclamation of faith that Jesus is my Savior and the One who fulfilled all the Law and the Prophets.
