How do we know Christ's death was according to the Scriptures?
Answered in 1 source
Christ's death was prophesied in the Scriptures, fulfilling the law and God’s redemptive plan, as seen in Isaiah and confirmed by Paul.
We know Christ's death was according to the Scriptures through numerous prophecies found in the Old Testament, notably in Isaiah. Isaiah described how the Messiah would suffer and die as a substitute for sinners, laying the foundation that Christ’s suffering was foretold by God. Paul reaffirms this in 1 Corinthians 15, stating that Christ died for our sins 'according to the Scriptures.' This demonstrates that Christ's death was not an accident, but a divine appointment that fulfilled God’s redemptive narrative throughout history, establishing Him as the sacrificial Lamb.
