How do we know that Christ bore God's wrath for His people?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms that Christ took on the punishment for sin, satisfying divine justice and securing salvation for His elect.

The doctrine of Christ bearing God's wrath on behalf of His people is central to the Reformed faith. Isaiah 53 articulates how Christ bore our griefs and carried our sorrows, fulfilling the justice of God by suffering the penalty sin deserves. This is evidenced in the plagues that demonstrate God's judgment: while He rained down judgment on Egypt, His people were spared. Similarly, through Christ, believers are shielded from the wrath due for their sins because Jesus, in His sacrificial death, endured the ultimate darkness and judgment, satisfying divine justice and reconciling the elect to God. This substitutionary atonement is foundational, affirming that those who believe in Him are never subject to condemnation because their sins are imputed to Him.
