How do we know Jesus suffered for our sins?

Answered in 3 sources

The New Testament cites Psalm 69 to illustrate how Jesus fulfilled the prophecies of suffering, indicating His atoning work for our sins.

The suffering of Jesus for our sins is clearly illustrated in the New Testament, particularly through references to Psalm 69. This psalm is recognized as a Messianic psalm, with verses describing the anguish and deep waters that Jesus experienced, which parallels His sufferings on the cross. For example, the phrase 'Save me, O God, for the waters have come in unto my soul' (Psalm 69:1) resonates deeply with the anguish Jesus felt during His ministry and at Gethsemane. Additionally, verses like 'The reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me' (Psalm 69:9) are quoted by Paul in Romans 15:3, showing how Jesus bore the reproach and sin of humanity. His sufferings were not only physical but encompassed spiritual agony as He bore the sins of His people, making Him a perfect substitute in the eyes of God.
