How do we know the doctrine of Christ's atonement is true?
Answered in 4 sources
The doctrine of Christ's atonement is affirmed through fulfilled prophecy and the consistent testimony of Scripture about His sacrificial work.
Christ's atonement is central to the Christian faith and is supported by a wealth of biblical evidence. The culmination of all Old Testament prophecies and types, especially the Passover lamb, points towards Jesus as the ultimate sacrifice for sin (John 1:29). His sacrificial death was not a possibility but a divine necessity, as reiterated in Hebrews 10, which states that He came to do God's will and offer Himself once for all. This fulfillment of prophecy and Jesus’s conscious act of laying down His life (John 10:18) serves as a robust confirmation of the truth of His atoning work. Thus, our assurance rests not on our own merit but solely on the completed work of Christ.
