How do we know atonement is true?

Answered in 1 source

Atonement is affirmed in Scripture through Christ's sacrificial death, which reconciles us to God.

The doctrine of atonement is rooted deeply in biblical teaching, illustrated throughout the Old and New Testaments. Isaiah 53 portrays the suffering servant who bears our griefs and sorrows, foreshadowing Christ's ultimate sacrifice. Moreover, in 1 Peter 2:24, we learn that 'He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.' The historical resurrection of Jesus serves as a divine affirmation that His atoning work was complete and accepted by God. Therefore, through faith, believers experience the transformative power of this atonement, enabling us to look to Christ confidently during moments of trial and temptation.
