How do we know that Jesus is the proper substitute for our sins?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is the perfect substitute because He was made flesh and took on our sins, dying on our behalf to fulfill the law.

Jesus Christ is presented in Scripture as the ultimate substitute for our sins, fulfilling the requirements of the law through His obedience and sacrificial death. This concept of substitution is rooted in the nature of sin and God's justice. Since all have sinned, a perfect sacrifice was necessary, which Christ provided by becoming one of us. As explained in Colossians 2, His death effectively blotted out our transgressions, providing the means for our reconciliation with God. The prophetic foreshadowing of this in the Old Testament with sacrificial lambs underscores this principle: He who knew no sin took on the sins of many, becoming the adequate sacrifice that fully satisfies God’s wrath.
