How do we know Jesus is the perfect sacrifice for sin?
Answered in 1 source
Jesus is the perfect sacrifice as He fulfilled all Old Testament prophecies and offered Himself without sin for the sake of His people.
In the New Testament, particularly in Hebrews, we see Jesus described as the perfect sacrifice. Unlike the repeated animal sacrifices that could not take away sin, Jesus’ sacrifice was once for all, adequately dealing with the sins of believers from all time. He met every requirement of the law and fulfilled every prophecy concerning the Messiah. His offering was not just physical but also spiritual, as He bore the full weight of God’s wrath against sin, enabling the complete and eternal redemption of His people. This is affirmed with His resurrection, which secures our justification.
