How do we know Christ's voluntary substitution is true?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture teaches that Christ suffered willingly as our substitute to purchase our salvation, evidenced in passages like 1 Peter 3:18.

The doctrine of Christ's voluntary substitution is central to our understanding of salvation and is supported throughout Scripture. In passages such as 1 Peter 3:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:21, we see that Christ suffered for our sins, the just for the unjust. His willing approach to suffering showcases a deep love that surpasses human comprehension. Rather than resist His captors, He accepted the burden of our sins, becoming the very thing that separates us from God, and bore the punishment that we rightfully deserve. This act of love ensures that through Him, we find absolution and righteousness, illustrating the depth of His grace and the effectiveness of His sacrifice in substituting our eternal punishment.
