How do we know Christ is our perfect substitute?

Answered in 3 sources

Christ is demonstrated as our perfect substitute through His fulfillment of the law and sacrifice for our sins.

Christ is our perfect substitute as He fulfilled the law that we could never keep. In Genesis 39, Joseph serves as a type of Christ, being sold into slavery and subjected to the authority of Potiphar, which represents the law. Just as Joseph took on the role of a servant, Christ came down from heaven, lived a perfect life, and served under the law to provide us with the righteousness we need for salvation. This beautiful exchange—Christ bearing our sins and giving us His righteousness—reveals the depth of God's mercy and justice.
