How do we know Christ is the solution for sin?

Answered in 1 source

Christ is the solution for sin because He is God’s only remedy, depicted vividly in the brazen serpent lifted up for the healing of the Israelites.

In John's Gospel, Jesus references the brazen serpent as a foreshadowing of His own crucifixion (John 3:14-15). The story from Numbers illustrates that just as the Israelites looked to the bronze serpent and lived, so too must individuals look to Christ for salvation. His work on the cross provides an inextricable link between the sacrifice of His life and our redemption from the curse of sin. The Scriptures affirm that Christ, being without sin, bore our sins on the cross, making His death both necessary and sufficient for our salvation (1 Peter 2:24). The simplicity of this act — merely looking in faith — encapsulates the core of the Gospel.
