How do we know God imputes our sins to Christ?

Answered in 1 source

We know our sins are imputed to Christ through the clear teaching of Scripture that emphasizes His role as our sin-bearer.

The imputation of our sins to Christ is rooted in biblical revelation rather than human reasoning. As the preaching of the gospel and scriptural accounts illustrate, Jesus bore the weight of sin, not merely in being considered a sinner but in being made sin itself (2 Corinthians 5:21). The theological understanding of this is supported by typology in the Old Testament, where sacrifices represented the transfer of sin from the people to the sacrificial lamb, foreshadowing Christ’s ultimate sacrifice. Therefore, the assurance that our sins are truly placed upon Christ gives believers confidence in their standing before God, emphasizing that He bore the full weight of sin for the elect.
