How do we know that Jesus' death was for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus' death as a sacrifice for our sins is confirmed by His role as the sinner's surety, bearing our curse (Galatians 3:13).

The foundation of our belief that Jesus died for our sins lies in Scripture’s many affirmations of His role as the sinner's substitute. In Galatians 3:13, it states that Jesus became a curse for us, fulfilling God's justice concerning sin. This act of self-sacrifice is not merely a historical event; it is the crux of the Gospel message, underscored by His agony and the Father's rebuke that broke His heart (Psalm 69:20). The theological implication here is profound: through His suffering and death, Christ not only demonstrated God’s love but also satisfied divine justice, allowing for our redemption.
