How do we know Christ is the Lamb of God?

Answered in 4 sources

Scripture identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God, fulfilling the Old Testament sacrificial system and securing redemption for His people.

The declaration by John the Baptist, 'Behold the Lamb of God' (John 1:29), points directly to Jesus' identity as the ultimate sacrifice for sin, fulfilling the shadows and types of the Old Testament sacrifices. The significance of the lamb in Scripture originates from the Passover, where the blood of the lamb protected the Israelites from judgment (Exodus 12). Jesus is the fulfillment of this imagery as He enters the world to take away the sins of His people, evidenced by His sacrificial death on the cross. This theological underpinning extends to passages like Hebrews 9:11, which explains how Christ, through His own blood, entered the holy place and obtained eternal redemption, proving He is indeed the Lamb foretold by the prophets.
