How do we know Christ's expiation is true?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's expiation is affirmed through Scripture, pointing to His sacrificial death that fully atoned for our sins.

The doctrine of expiation, which refers to Christ's act of making amends for our sins through His sacrifice, is fundamentally established in Scripture. Romans 15:3 quotes Psalm 69:9, illustrating how Christ bore reproach and shame on our behalf. The fulfillment of prophecies and the intentionality of Christ's actions throughout His life and death underscore this truth. His suffering, humiliation, and ultimately His death on the cross serve as both an example and a complete expiation for our sins; He carried our sins and guilt, thus making a way for us to be reconciled to God. This central truth of the Gospel assures believers of their forgiveness and righteousness.
