How do we know that Christ is our perfect substitute?
Answered in 2 sources
Christ is our perfect substitute because He fulfilled the righteousness of God by being without sin.
Christ serves as our perfect substitute as underscored by the requirement that the Passover lamb be without blemish. In Christ, we find the one who entirely fulfills God’s law and the requirements for sacrifice. The Scripture states that Christ was ordained as a sacrificial lamb before the foundation of the world, confirming His place as the only sufficient and perfect sacrifice. His death on the cross alleviates our sin debt, fulfilling the demands of divine justice on our behalf. This truth forms the foundation of our hope, as we see that we cannot provide righteousness for ourselves; rather, it is by Christ's perfection that we are accepted by God.
