God made Jesus both Lord and Christ
God made Jesus both as Lord and Christ. How can I do a search in the biblical text to determine this making shown?

Psalms 2 and 110. Psalm 110 was cited by Peter just before making the statement you are trying to search in Acts 2:36.

Let me help you find what you want to be searching for by asking you what is the context of Peter's speech about God making Jesus both Lord and Christ in Acts 2:14-36? What major redemptive historical events is Peter speaking about? Once you identify these, I would do a search in Logos on them to see if any other passages in the Bible can shed light on God making Jesus both Lord and Christ.
The titles "lord" and "Christ" (or messiah) can be searched as well.
But, you also should review the history of doctrine to answer this question: When did Christ become Lord and Christ? Big hint: John Stott in his commentary on Acts writes, "Peter’s conclusion is that all Israel should now be assured that this Jesus, whom they had repudiated and crucified, God had made both Lord and Christ. Not of course that Jesus became Lord and Christ only at the time of his ascension, for he was (and claimed to be) both throughout his public ministry. It is rather that now God exalted him to be in reality and power what he already was by right.
