How do we know that Jesus is our sacrificial lamb?

Jesus is often referred to as the sacrificial Lamb due to His fulfillment of the types and shadows found in the Old Testament. In Genesis 22, the substitute ram signifies Christ, who, like the ram caught in the thicket, was provided by God as our sacrifice. Hebrews 9:26 states that Christ has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself, confirming His role as the perfect Lamb needed for our redemption. This belief is central to Reformed theology, which emphasizes that without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins (Hebrews 9:22). Jesus' death on the cross fully satisfied God's justice, providing a means of salvation for His elect.
