We know Christ died for our sins through Scripture, which clearly states that His sacrifice was for the ungodly, fulfilling God's plan of salvation.
The assurance that Christ died for our sins comes from the clear teachings of Scripture. Romans 5:6 emphasizes that Christ died for the ungodly and that His sacrifice was the ultimate expression of God’s love. In 1 John 3:16, we see further evidence that Christ laid down His life for us, illustrating that His death was intentional and sacrificial for the purpose of saving His people. The doctrine of substitutionary atonement, where Christ pays the penalty for our sins, is a cornerstone of Reformed theology that affirms the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for all who believe in Him.
