How do we know Jesus bore our sins?

Answered in 5 sources

Jesus bore our sins through His incarnation and sacrificial death, wearing our filthy garments as He took on the penalty for sin.

The doctrine of substitutionary atonement is crucial in understanding how Christ bore our sins. Through His incarnation, the Lord Jesus Christ took on human flesh and thus was clothed in the likeness of sinful flesh. During His crucifixion, He bore the weight of our sins, symbolically wearing our filthy garments. Zechariah 3 illustrates this with Joshua representing Christ, standing with filthy garments before the angel, demonstrating the profound reality of Christ's work on our behalf. His willingness to endure our punishment and take our sins upon Himself fulfills the expectation of a Savior who reconciles us to God. In doing so, He not only bore our sins but also prepared the way for us to receive His righteousness.
