How do we know substitution is true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of substitution is confirmed through Scripture, fulfilled in Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.

The truth of the doctrine of substitution is established by the consistent witness of Scripture, particularly through prophetic texts such as Isaiah 53, which presents a clear picture of the coming Messiah who would bear the sins of His people. Throughout the New Testament, the fulfillment of these prophecies in Christ is affirmed, showing that He is the perfect Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. The historical reality of His crucifixion and subsequent resurrection further underlines the truth of substitution, as it signifies both the complete satisfaction of divine justice and the assurance of eternal life for all who believe in Him. Thus, the resurrection serves as God's definitive declaration that His provision for salvation through substitution is indeed true and effective.
