How do we know Christ's substitutionary sacrifice is true?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's substitutionary sacrifice is affirmed throughout Scripture, particularly in Isaiah 53, which prophesies His atoning death for the sins of many.

The truth of Christ's substitutionary sacrifice is profoundly substantiated in Scripture, notably Isaiah 53, which explicitly details how the Lord would lay upon Him the iniquity of us all. In verse 10, it states that it 'pleased the Lord to bruise him,' showcasing that Jesus bore the sins of His people as their representative. This doctrine is central to the historic Reformed faith, asserting that Christ's death was not for an abstract concept, but for many specific individuals chosen by God. Thus, through faith in Him, believers can receive assurance of their salvation, knowing that His work was meant for them personally.
