How do we know Christ is our sin bearer?

Answered in 2 sources

The New Testament identifies Jesus as the fulfillment of the sacrificial system in the Old Testament, confirming He is our sin bearer.

Scripture makes it abundantly clear that Christ is our sin bearer, with both the Old and New Testaments affirming this vital doctrine. In the New Testament, Jesus is identified as the lamb without blemish, a direct correlation to the offerings described in Leviticus. For example, John 1:29 refers to Him as 'the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.' This underlines the belief that Christ's perfect life and sacrificial death were necessary prerequisites to bear the penalty for sin. Furthermore, passages in Hebrews demonstrate that the sacrificial offerings of the Old Testament merely foreshadowed the complete and final atonement achieved through Christ's death, thus validating Him as our ultimate sin bearer.
