How do we know that Christ bore our iniquities?

Answered in 1 source

Christ bore our iniquities as stated in Isaiah 53:6, where God laid our sins upon Him.

The doctrine that Christ bore our iniquities is central to the understanding of salvation in Reformed theology. Isaiah 53:6 states, 'The Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.' This implies that our sins were not merely credited to Christ; they were placed upon Him, emphasizing His role as our substitute. This is vital, as it teaches that Christ did not just bear the punishment for our sins but bore the very sin itself, fulfilling the requirements of justice. Therefore, believing this point is essential to grasping the depth of our salvation through His atoning work.
