How do we know Christ as the perfect sacrifice is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s role as the perfect sacrifice is demonstrated through the Old Testament sacrifices which all point to Him.

The truth of Christ as our perfect sacrifice is reinforced throughout Scriptures, particularly in the Old Testament. In Leviticus, the burnt offering (Holocaust) requires a male without blemish, which is a direct foreshadowing of Christ who was without sin. The Apostle Paul reinforces this in 2 Corinthians 5:21, stating that God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us. Furthermore, the act of the offerer placing his hands on the head of the offering symbolizes the imputation of sins to Christ, thereby showing His substitutionary atonement. Thus, the entire sacrificial system points toward the necessity of Christ’s perfect and voluntary sacrifice for atonement for mankind’s sin.
