How do we know Christ's death was an atonement for sin?

Answered in 1 source

The New Testament affirms that Christ's death was a sacrifice for our sins, reconciling us to God and satisfying His justice.

The Scripture teaches that Christ came to the world to give His life as a ransom for many (Matthew 20:28). His death was not merely exemplary but central to the Gospel, as He bore our sins and paid the penalty that we owed to God. This atoning sacrifice is foundational to our faith, emphasizing that through Christ's blood, we are redeemed from the curse of sin and reconciled to the Father. In Hebrews 9:14, it’s asserted that Christ offered Himself to God to cleanse our consciences from sin, which highlights the significance of His atoning work. Understanding Christ's sacrificial role is essential for grasping the comfort of the Gospel.
