How do we know Christ's death was vicarious?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s death was vicarious, meaning He suffered in our place for the sins of others, as taught in Scripture.

The vicarious nature of Christ's death is highlighted in the phrase 'for you' found in 1 Corinthians 11:24. This illustrates that He bore our sins and suffered in our stead. Isaiah 53:6 confirms that the Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all, demonstrating that Christ’s sacrifice was not for Himself, as He had no sin, but for His people. His death satisfied God's justice and secured redemption for all those who believe. This attribute of His death ensures that believers are no longer condemned for their sins, as Christ has taken the penalty in their place.
