We know Christ bore our sins because it is supported by the witness of the Father, Son, and Spirit in Scripture (1 John 5:6-8).
The certainty that Christ bore our sins is profoundly rooted in Scripture, as articulated in 1 John 5:6-8. This passage details how the Father, the Word (Christ), and the Holy Spirit serve as witnesses to this truth, affirming that Christ's atoning work was not a mere imitation of bearing sin but a genuine substitution for those who believe. Isaiah 53:11 further supports this, declaring that the righteous servant would bear the iniquities of many. This multifaceted witness solidifies our confidence in the authentic nature of Christ's atonement, providing a foundation for our faith that it was not a superficial act but the fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan.
