How do we know that Jesus is our substitute?

Answered in 11 sources

The New Testament reveals Jesus as our substitute through His sacrificial death, fulfilling the need for atonement, as seen in Isaiah 53.

In Isaiah 53, it is prophesied that the Messiah would bear the sins of many and offer Himself as a sacrifice for sin. This prophetic revelation is fulfilled in Jesus, whose death serves as the ultimate substitute for our transgressions. In Romans 8:32, the apostle Paul emphasizes that God did not spare His own Son, indicating the depth of our Father's provision for our salvation. The account of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis foreshadows this, as the ram caught in the thicket symbolizes Christ as our Lamb who takes away the sin of the world, establishing the pattern of redemption that believers now affirm.
