How do we know that God will provide a substitute for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

The assurance of God providing a substitute is rooted in His covenant faithfulness and foreshadowed in the story of Abraham and Isaac.

The promise of God to provide a substitute for sin is powerfully illustrated in Genesis 22 when Abraham, on the brink of sacrificing Isaac, is stopped and provided a ram instead. Abraham declared, 'God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering' (Genesis 22:8), a prophecy pointing to Christ. In the New Testament, John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God (John 1:29), fulfilling God's promise. This demonstrates that God has eternally planned for a sacrificial substitute through Christ to atone for the sins of His people.
