How do we know that Jesus is the Lamb of God?

Answered in 11 sources

The Bible identifies Jesus as the Lamb of God through the testimony of John the Baptist and His fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding atonement.

In John 1:29, John the Baptist explicitly declares Jesus as 'the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.' This title connects Jesus to the sacrificial system established in the Old Testament, where lambs were offered as sacrifices for sin. Furthermore, Jesus' role as the Passover Lamb illustrates His purpose in providing atonement. The shedding of His blood fulfills the requirement for remission of sins, affirming His identity as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb who secures salvation for His people. This truth is foundational in Reformed theology, emphasizing that salvation is solely through Christ's sacrificial work.
