The truth of Christ's atonement is affirmed through prophetic Scriptures and the fulfillment of those prophecies in His life and death.
The validity of Christ's atonement is rooted in the prophetic Scriptures that foretell the sufferings and redemptive work of the Messiah. Psalm 22 vividly predicts various aspects of Christ's crucifixion, including specific details like the piercing of His hands and feet and the casting of lots for His garments. Furthermore, textual references in Isaiah, particularly Isaiah 53, affirm that He bore the iniquities of many and made a profound offering for sin. The New Testament confirms these prophecies as fulfilled in Jesus of Nazareth, who died to pay the penalty of sin, aligning with the covenant of grace established by God. Thus, the consistent testimony of Scripture across both Old and New Testaments substantiates the truth of His atoning work.
