Christ's death is affirmed in Scripture, where He is said to bear the sins of many, fulfilling God's justice through His sacrifice.
The assurance that Christ died for our sins is grounded in the teachings of Scripture that emphasize His role as our substitute. Isaiah 53:5 states, 'He was wounded for our transgressions; he was bruised for our iniquities.' This points us to the sacrificial nature of Christ's mission. Furthermore, the New Testament clearly articulates that through His death, He bore our sin and accomplished redemption (2 Corinthians 5:21). The cross stands as the pivotal moment where justice was satisfied, and as a result, believers are justified and declared righteous in Him (Hebrews 9:28). It is through the eyes of faith in the revelation of Scripture that we come to know the efficacy of His sacrifice.
